Road accidents are an unfortunate reality of our times but we can avoid injuries by investing in cars with higher GNCAP safety ratings.
In this latest video, a Skoda Slavia was involved in a massive accident with a Toyota Etios. Now, the Etios Liva (hatchback) was tested by the GNCAP back in 2016 and it scored an impressive 4-star rating. On the other hand, the Skoda Slavia has not been crash-tested yet. However, the recent accidents show tough build which is expected from the Czech carmaker. Let us see what happened when these two collide with one another.

Finally, we would like to advise our readers to always follow traffic regulations. Statistics show that most accidents on the road happen due to overspeeding. Therefore, we must avoid high-speed driving at all costs as it leaves no room for controlling the vehicle in the event of a misfortune. Drive safely and follow the traffic rules.
