Recently, a pre-facelift example of a top-spec Maruti Vitara Brezza went off the road and suffered a pretty big front-end collision with what seems to be a metallic structure. As can be seen in the image we have here, the front-end of the vehicle has suffered quite some damage to soft parts as well as the sheet metal. A closer inspection of the image reveals that both the airbags have deployed. Thankfully, there has been no loss of life and the occupants are known to have escaped with very minor injuries.

More details of the mishap are not available at the moment but from the looks of it, the driver of the compact SUV seems to have run off the road and collided with some sort of a metallic structure. While the magnitude of the collission can't be ascertained simply by looking at the photograph that we have above, it's heartening to see that the impact hasn't reached the cabin and that the occupants have not sustained any major injury. It's worth mentioning here that the Global New Car Assessment Programme (Global NCAP) has given a 4-star score to this model. The compact SUV has scored will in the adult protection category and the standard safety suite on offers include dual front airbags, ABS with EBD, ISOFIX mounts, among others.
