He is lucky if its his vehicle. If he is a driver/chauffer, he might be tossed up one more time.

one hell of a lucky guy and one of the few accident which got recorded lol

the guy in accent must be thinking WTH is going on

McLaren Rulez · 30th July 2009, 16:34

You know if the Accent hadn't braked hard enough, it could have been crushed when the Palio landed. Good reflexes by the Accent driver and as a reward he has a car rather than a double decker wreck

Well, on the Scorpio accident, I see everyone straightaway showing fingers to the bus driver. What about a sudden turn by the Scorpio guy? How much braking distance really a bus has, to stop when a SUV tries to make a sudden turn or sudden entry from a side road?
I am seeing 90% of the drivers who enter a busy road NEVER turn to their left or right befor entry. They come from a side road, enter half into the road and then turn to their mirror to see. This is pathetic but, even educated individuals invariably do this. People never understand or estimate the braking capacity of other vehicles and their speed, before trying to enter from a side road into a main road.
I think the Scorp entered fast in front of the bus, without giving the bus driver enough time or distance to brake, leaving him with no option to goahead and slam.

It's not an Accent but the old Honda City.

You're right. But I think rahulkool was talking about the Accent ahead of the Palio. I thought the car behind was another Accent but now I see its an OHC.

Damn thats a bad one, but which one is the driver of the Palio, I dont see anyone getting out from the Palio but that some people from the other lane coming to this side for help.

At the 47th second a man gets out of the palio and only after this the people from other lane come closer to the car.

Technocrat · 30th July 2009, 19:11

Ah yes I see it now, thanks man.

Btw he came out pretty quickly after such a horrifying crash.

The driver walking off after a somersault like that is simply mind blowing. I would rather give more credit to his luck than to the build of the car. I know Palio is built like a tank, but to survive such an accident is simply more than that.

By the way, do you know how it happened?

Anyways, the Palio stole the show from TATA!

The driver probably got distracted and did'nt see the road becoming narrow. He crashed into the dead end which launched his car in the air. But not a scratch on him, thank GOD !

If after it hit on its back, it turned the otherway, he might have landed roof-down and got crushed at that kind of impact. The car had gone up at least 5 meters before it landed... Incredibly Lucky guy he was...

that guy was really lucky, credit goes to the build quality of the Fiat.
Another one somewhere in U P.
(I don't know that I have posted this before but I recd. a mail a few minutes back so posting it.)

McLaren Rulez · 30th July 2009, 19:28

I'm surprised too at the fact that he's not too shaken.

gpa · 30th July 2009, 20:08

Just passed this accident on the ring-road last evening. The driver was overspeeding and ran over the median and CRASH!

From the looks of it, no body was killed.

McLaren Rulez · 30th July 2009, 20:16

How in the world did that orange Palio do that? Seriously, you need to be incredible to have that kind of crazy crash
