Tata Tiago falls 25 feet, passengers safe: “Not even a Band-Aid needed,” says owner!

A family from Kerala got involved in a high-speed accident in a Tata Tiago recently. The man was travelling with his family and there were three people in the car. The Tiago fell from the road at a speed of 70 km/h to a depth of 25 feet. All of the occupants inside the car were safe and came out without any injuries. The owner says that the occupants did not even require even a band-aid.

According to the post shared by the owner, they were travelling on the road and suddenly something came in the way. To steer clear, the driver moved the steering wheel swiftly, which caused the car to fall down into a gorge of about 25 feet. The vehicle hit a house and concrete floor.

The photos show how hard the impact was on the car. The pictures show the badly damaged Tata Tiago with the front two airbags open. According to the owner, no one got any serious injuries and they could come out of the vehicle on their own. The owner and his wife were in the front seats while his two daughters were in the rear seat. It is not clear if the daughters were wearing seatbelts at the time of the accident.

The owner says that everyone advised him not to buy a Tata car. However, he went ahead with it. In the post, the owner thanked the build quality of the Tata cars for giving him and his family a second life. He also says that he considered the Tiago as his third daughter and it was destroyed in the accident. Currently, the owner does not have the financial ability to buy a new car but he wishes to buy the Nexon as his next car. He also advises, “If you prioritise safety (in this segment), you have to buy a Tata Tiago,”
