Here's a Tata Tiago that ran under a truck and ripped its roof apart, while keeping the passengers safe. Read here to know more about the incident.

The Tata Tiago is a good-looking hatchback that is on sale at a starting price of Rs. 4.69 lakh. It is loved by the masses for the way it looks and the high safety quotient it offers. The Tiago has even achieved a crash test rating of 4 stars at Global-NCAP’s testbed. The small hatchback has proved of its mettle in various accidents that have been reported across the country. This time around, we have come across a video which shows a Tiago that has crashed with a truck and ripped its roof apart.  The video comes from YouTube channel of Prateek Singh. However, the car belongs to Kamal Sharma, who hails from Maharashtra.

Talking of the mishap, it took place when Mr. Sharma was driving his Tata Tiago on a highway in Maharashtra, and it rammed into a truck from behind. At the time of the accident, the owner claims that the speed of the car was around 100 kmph. With the effect of momentum, Tiago could not stop right after hitting the truck. It went a little too much under the truck, therefore messing up with its under-run bars. As a result, Tiago's roof has been completely ripped off, and the tailgate has also lost its position.
