Tata Tiago Crash With 2 Trucks
These images show that the Tiago was hit by 2 trucks from both sides which is quite unusual. The first image shows the front left side of the bumper and fender being completely destroyed by one truck. The impact has penetrated past the suspension setup as well. This suggests that the collision might have been at high speed. What is impressive, however, is that no scars or dents were able to reach the side door. The second image shows an impact on the right side of the vehicle. In this case, the entire side profile is seen to be affected. There are dents on the front fender, side door and read door as well. The owner has posted this on Facebook and he mentions that the roof has also been affected. Luckily, no one was injured even after the car got hit by 2 trucks.
