Looking at the Dzire, the bonnet is deformed and almost lifted up from its normal position. The bumper also seems to have taken some impact and is a bit detached from its place. However, as the owner of the Urban Cruiser claims that the accident took place at around 120 kmph, the damages don’t seem to be much at all. This leads us to believe that there might be some flaw with that claim. Also, it could be possible that the cars were at the speed of 120 kmph initially, but at the time of impact, the brakes must’ve resulted in a substantial drop in speed. This could have been missed by the driver in the heat of the moment. It is a normal case when people meet with accidents, there is a duration of the blackout. We reckon that to be the case here as well. But the impact was certainly there and the build quality of Urban Cruiser definitely ensured that not too much damage in incurred.
