Despite the severity of the impact, everyone in the vehicle survived.“Sometimes, you don’t realise the true value of a product until it protects your life. We recently met with a horrific accident on the Pune–Mumbai Expressway. Our Mahindra car was hit from behind at high speed, spun twice, and then crashed into the barrier,” she wrote. The collision left the vehicle severely damaged, with the left side bearing the brunt of the impact. Photographs shared alongside her post showed the front and rear sections on that side badly crushed, giving a glimpse of the force of the crash.Yet, Swadia pointed out that the windshield and windows remained intact.“The impact was terrifying, especially with my seven-month-old baby and family inside the car. For a moment, we feared the worst,” she said.The family, however, managed to escape with minor injuries. Looking at the wreckage afterwards, Swadia said, made them realise just how serious the accident could have been.“Thankfully, we walked away with only minor injuries. Seeing the condition of the car afterwards made us realise just how serious the accident had been—and how important the vehicle’s build quality, structural strength and safety features were in protecting my family,” she added.Swadia credited the car's construction for helping protect her family, particularly her infant. “As we celebrate Diwali, I feel especially grateful that my family and I are safe and together,” she wrote.Calling the experience a “second chance at life”, she thanked Anand Mahindra and the company's team, describing their vehicles as more than just a means of transport because they “protect families when it matters”.Her post drew reactions from social media users, several of whom praised the vehicle's build quality, while others wished the family a speedy recovery.- Ends
