Here are all the details about the Tata Punch accident that you should know.
For those wondering, this incident was reported from Assam where a Tata Punch collided with an electric pole. The car, which is expected to be doing some high speeds, collided face on and broke the pole into two halves. It is however worth noting that despite such an intense collision, the cabin of the Punch had minimal damage and kept all the occupants inside the car safe. The body panels including the hood, A-pillars, and the roof sustained damage during this collision.
