Truck Falls Onto Cars While Drunk Driver Tries To Overtake on Bangalore-Chennai Highway, Owner Thanks Mahindra XUV 500 for Saving Lives (See Pics)

In a harrowing incident on the Bangalore-Chennai highway, an overloaded truck fell on two cars, completely damaging both vehicles. Fortunately, a major tragedy was averted, thanks to a Mahindra XUV 500, one of the cars involved, which played a critical role in saving lives after a truck toppled during a dangerous overtaking attempt. The Mahindra XUV 500 SUV owner, Ashish Sinha, shared on X that on August 14, a heavily loaded truck tried to overtake his vehicle and a Maruti Suzuki Ertiga from the right. The truck driver, reportedly drunk, lost control upon encountering a roadside drum and mud, causing the vehicle to flip and crash onto both cars. However, the XUV500 absorbed much of the impact, shielding the Ertiga, carrying a couple and their child, from being crushed. Sinha, in a moment of realisation, wondered if he had been just two seconds ahead, the outcome could have been fatal for the family in the Ertiga. Mahindra XUV700 Facelift Spotted Testing, Likely To Launch in 2026; Know What To Expect.
