A car carrying five people toppled into a river in Madhya Pradesh’s Orchha town while trying to keep away from crash with an autorickshaw. The entire accident has been caught on camera while footage has unfolded hair-raising details.
The speeding autorickshaw came head on with the car on a narrow bridge. As the car tried to turn in order to steer clear of crash, the car fell into the river. Straight away after the accident, two men were seen trying to climb outside the car, as the vehicle was inside the water. It appears that a child was among the passengers as well.
In order to save the child from drowning, one of the men pulled the baby and tossed him towards the people standing on the bridge. The kid, unluckily, fell into the river after which one of the men jumped into the river to save the kid.
Simultaneously, other passengers finally climbed outside the vehicle as the car stayed on the surface of the river. Meantime, the autorickshaw fled the spot.
