The terrifying accident, which took place in Madhya Pradesh, was captured on CCTV and shows the car, carrying five people, losing balance and falling off a bridge into a river. The 2.12 minute-long footage shows the car trying to avoid a head-on collision with a speeding auto rickshaw coming from opposite direction which caused it to fall into the river, reported The Indian Express.
