Whats happens when a Neelgai decides to test the build quality of a Tata Harrier? The results are not pretty.
Tata Motors is known for making rugged and sturdy products. The company’s most famous vehicles have received quite high GNCAP safety ratings. In a freak accident, a Neelgai also decided to check the build quality of a Black Tata Harrier. The unfortunate incident heavily damaged the vehicle. It seems the animal targeted the right side of the vehicle. Both side doors and side body panels are severely dented, with the rear door taking the most damage. The front windshield was also safe from the Neelgai. There are dents in the front also (above the wheel). Fortunately, there seems to be no damage to the inside or passengers.

The details of the accident are not clear. However, it is yet another freak accident involving a Neelgai. In different parts of north India, commuters are often startled by animals on the road. This has led to many deadly road accidents. As cities are growing at a rapid pace, the stray cattle often find themselves stranded on open roads. It is very important to be stay alert while driving, to avoid injury to animals and humans. In this case, we are not sure if the Tata Harrier was moving or standing still. Either way, this is a testament to the build quality of Tata Motors that the damage is not severe.
