Mercedes E-Class in Landslide
This post comes from lamiyan_caran_wale1 on Instagram. The black luxury sedan is seen stuck in bonnet-deep mud and stones. It is a landslide that has engulfed the car. Unfortunately, this is just one of hundreds of such cases in recent times. The post doesn’t mention the exact location of this incident. But by looking at the topography, one can deduce that this is somewhere in the mountains. In the second part of the video, the car is seen being washed away in the water.

What We Think
We would like to suggest to our readers to exercise precautions during extreme weather conditions. We lose so many lives on roads every year due to such weather. Monsoon season creates a lot of issues in various areas of our country. Similarly, travelling in the mountains during heavy rains is never a good idea. This is what could happen. Therefore, we urge our readers to undertake such journeys in this weather only if there is an emergency. Otherwise, it is better to stay at home and wait for the conditions to get better.
