At first glance it would appear as if this vehicle was accidentally driven off a showroom floor as was the case with a Mahindra Thar recently. However, as told in the video we have above, this Tata Nexon you see resting on the staircase of a shopping complex jumped over the divider of the road alongside this complex and ended up on the staircase. The accident not only sounds a bit unbelievable but even goes on to further bolster our belief in the Nexon’s crash worthiness as all the occupants of the vehicle walked out of it unhurt. Also, as expected, the front airbags of the sub-compact SUV deployed and protected the driver as well as the front passenger.
It’s said that this Nexon was barely a few days old and there are chances that this mishap would have taken place because of an error of judgement by a novice driver. Still, we’re happy that no one was hurt in this mishap as the vehicle kept its occupants totally safe. Also, as this crash took place in the wee hours, the spot at which it took place was pretty secluded. In the video, you can hear the pedestrians on the road talking about how the car jumped the divider from far away and ‘flew’ to the staircase.
