In a separate incident earlier this month, a speeding Thar lost control and spun multiple times after colliding with a divider on the Kanpur–Varanasi National Highway. The incident took place near Shringverpur in the Nawabganj area.
The intensity of the crash caused the Thar to spin several times on the road. Fortunately, no injuries were reported. The entire incident was captured on a nearby CCTV camera installed outside a roadside shop.
