Where and how did the accident happen?

According to media reports, the incident took place in the Pachpakhadi area of ​​Thane West. During the test drive, the Tata Sierra lost control and fell into a pit under construction.

Who was in the car?

The disaster management team of Thane Municipal Corporation reached the spot and evacuated all three and admitted them to a nearby hospital. It is a relief that no one was seriously injured when the car plunged into such a deep ravine. But they were hurt. Currently, all are undergoing treatment in the hospital.

After this incident people asked questions

After this accident, people are wondering who will pay for the repair of the car. The question arises because the woman was taking a test drive while driving. She had not purchased the car and therefore likely had no insurance. In that case, will she have to pay the entire repair cost?

Who will pay for the repair?

The woman will not pay a single penny for the repair of the car. The company will have to bear the entire cost of repairing the car. Because the woman was just taking a test drive of the car. She neither owned the car nor had she insured the car. Therefore, the company will have to bear the full cost of any damage to the vehicle during the test drive. The company covers the damage to the vehicle through third-party insurance. Hence, the company does not have to bear any cost itself.
