Toyota Fortuner, Mahindra Thar, Hyundai Creta and other vehicles are swept away by flash floods in the mountains as shared in the video.
This is a great video to highlight the perils associated with flash floods which even the mighty off-roading SUVs like the Fortuner and Thar are not able to survive. Not a lot of people are aware of such kinds of floods in the mountains. But these are potentially more devastating than the floods in the plains. This is because these floods arrive in a matter of seconds and could be accompanied by landslides or be a result of cloud bursts. Hence, one needs to watch out for these when you’re travelling in the mountains during the monsoons.

Finally, we would like to advise our readers to refrain from travelling to the mountains in rain. Landslides, cloud bursts and flash floods are common during this season and one can’t ever predict what gets affected suddenly. Also, while parking the car, make sure that it is not parked under a tree or a mountain which looks loose. Such minor measures could help you in making informed decisions and ensure your safety, as well as the safety of your vehicles.
