A Hyundai Creta with Delhi registration plates (DL9CAT9501) and with 4 people on board overtook a Toyota Fortuner at high speed and skidded onto an oncoming truck. It lost control after it landed on black ice under a thick layer of snow. The Creta had no snow chain or special tyres fitted on it.
One person reportedly was killed on the spot.
It was a case of ignorance, over confidence and recklessness. The driver and co-passengers were obviously of the feeling that accidents happen to others only and that they were automobile enthusiasts, although in reality they were the typical 'enchutiasts' seen in plentiful on roads throughout India.
Mountains are beautiful, and dangerous, too. Please drive carefully in the mountains and never drink and drive.
Irrespective of whether you are in the mountains or plains, in a short drive or a long drive, always remain 'High On Cognition'.
Location: Near Atal Tunnel, North Portal, Lahaul, Himachal Pradesh.
Date of incident: 2024-12-08.
