This latest case emerges from Chanchal, West Bengal. As per the information in the video, the dashcam footage of the Creta captures the entire chain of events. The Creta driver is within his lane and speed limit. Suddenly, a speeding Tata Sumo ambulance comes from the opposite side on a single-lane road. However, the video mentions that the driver of the Sumo was spitting tobacco out of the window. That led to him losing control of the SUV. There was no one else in the car apart from the driver and the siren was not on either. This proves that there was no emergency.

The latter part of the video captures the condition of the SUVs after toppling over multiple times. The tyre of the Sumo came off and there is a lot of damage to the body. It is lying on the field on the side of the road. Surprisingly, the Creta is in an even worse condition. Fortunately, no one was injured in this horrific crash, thanks to the seatbelts.
