This Tata Tiago was completely crushed under a container but still managed to keep its driver alive for 5 hours after the accident.
When it comes to Tata cars, buyers are mostly fancied by the safety they offer. Four Tata cars have received 4 and 5 star safety rating in the global NCAP crash tests. There are a lot of examples where Tata Tiago has gone through major accidents but still came out as a saviour. Here’s another example where it got crushed under a container but still saved the driver.
The exact details of the accident are unknown but the speeding container lost its control and turtled over a passing Tata Tiago. Looks like it is a hilly region and there are some boulders on the side of the road. The truck crushed the Tiago but also rested on a boulder on the side. As a result, the whole car was not crushed.

With the help of a crane and a lot of people, the car was pulled out. The roof has completely come down and even the pillars have been damaged. By the impact, we can also see that the seats have been crushed. While the video does not show, but the driver was pulled alive out of the debris.
The car was pulled out after 5 hours and the driver was still alive. However, he received very serious injuries. A good thing that the container was stopped by the boulder otherwise, the owner could not be saved. The pillars being the strongest among all cars cannot survive the weight of a container falling on top.
Tata Tiago is very popular in the entry-level hatchback market but its price range is very broad. It can cater to buyers who want their cars under 5 Lakhs and also for them who can stretch upto 7 Lakhs. Post BS6 era, Tiago is a petrol-only SUV losing out on its small 1.05 Litre diesel engine due to the emission norms.
