Overspeeding is the main cause of most car crashes and this is the latest example of that.
A Tata Punch was involved in a high-speed accident at 120 km/h due to a tyre burst. Punch is a 5-star safety-rated car at the Global NCAP. That is one of the many reasons why it has become so successful and popular among the masses. It consistently features on the list of the top 10 highest-selling cars in India on a monthly basis. In fact, its build quality has been put to the test in many real-life incidents and the micro SUV has performed decently well. However, crossing the speed limit could be an invitation to trouble. Here are the details.

Unfortunately, the impact was so brutal that both people lost their lives on the spot. Looking at the condition of the Tata Punch reveals the extent of damage to the body. The entire side section is destroyed and the roof and side pillars have collapsed completely which allowed the impact inside the cabin. All the other components are deformed as well. It is also mentioned in the video that the road was not a part of the large highway but was a small road where 120 km/h is way too high in the first place.
