Overspeeding is the root cause of most car crashes on roads and this is the latest addition to that undesired list.
In a terrible chain of events, the new Maruti Baleno was involved in a crash where it hits a TVS Star motorcycle. Baleno is the most successful premium hatchback in our market. It recently received an update making it modern. It rivals the likes of the Hyundai i20 and the Tata Altroz. It has not been crash-tested by the Global NCAP but its performances in real-life scenarios have been quite decent. This latest crash shows the perils of driving way over the speed limit.

The results were terrifying. Baleno dragged the bike for around 30-40 ft due to the momentum. There was a mother and son duo on the bike. Unfortunately, the mother succumbed to her injuries on the spot while the son is seriously injured and is in the hospital. Interestingly, the Baleno driver locked the car and fled away from the scene. We hope that there will be a thorough investigation of the matter and the culprit will be brought to justice.
