Launched in 2018, the Tata Harrier is said to be one of the safest vehicles in its class. While it’s yet to be tested by NCAP, various incidents in the past have demonstrated the robust build of this SUV. However, it’s only obvious that even the safest vehicles can’t keep its occupants totally protected in case of a severe accident. As seen in the visuals, the Harrier has been totally destroyed in the cash with the entire car reduced to a mangled heap of metal owing to the severity of the accident.We wish speedy recovery of Aannand and her friends and offer sincere condolences to friends and family of Bhavani.
