Car narrowly escapes landslide in Himachal Pradesh
Twitter
On Sunday 9th July several districts of Himachal Pradesh faced deadly circumstances due to heavy rains. Terrifying videos of mudslides and flash floods took the internet by storm as locals and tourists shared terrifying moments they witnessed due to the weather in the mountainous state.
Among a hundred videos that ended up online, one video captured how a car narrowly escaped a landslide live. The video came from Solan village in Kullu district. Although, thankfully, no casualties were reported at the scene after the landslide, the terrifying video was enough to make the audience’s blood run cold.
In the video, a bystander catches the scene from across the road as cars pass on a dangerous road in Kullu. Several cars pass before some dirt particles and debris begin to fall from the hill. However, a car miraculously escapes when a huge rock falls from the hill.
The car sped past the scene as the massive boulder took its place in the middle of the road. Meanwhile, the locals who witnessed the gruesome scene not only recorded the moment but also tried to warn passing cars by making noise and attracting the attention of drivers.
