The impact on the two vehicles is quite severe. The front section of the Tiago features a broken bumper, headlights, bonnet, grille, side mirrors, etc. However, the impact didn’t enter the cabin as the side pillars are intact. The airbags were deployed saving the occupants from any injury. On the other hand, the Dzire was hit from the front right side. As a result, the bonnet, bumper, grille, and headlights have incurred heavy damage. But due to the angle of impact, the passengers were safe as airbags were deployed and the impact was not head-on.

The Tiago has time and again proven to be a safe car, which is something that is even reflected in its 4-star safety rating by NCAP. However, in this case, the Dzire has performed equally well. This clearly shows that the NCAP score is definitely not the last word when it comes to crash performance of vehicles. Finally, we would like to caution our readers against overspeeding. It continues to be the most prominent reason for such undesirable situations on the road. Even here, had the drivers been driving slowly, they would’ve been able to avoid the crash. Therefore, we urge our readers to always follow the traffic rules and avoid overspeeding at any cost.
