Nikhil Rana, an Indian Youtuber who covers information and content related to the automotive industry, has shared a video on his YouTube channel that shows the after collision effect of the all-new Mahindra BE 6 and Datsun Go.
The reason for the mishap is unknown, but as per speculations there could be two situations responsible for the accident- improper braking measure by the BE 6 driver, or an unattended obstacle in front of BE 6 which made the driver panic brake and led to the collision. However, questioning on BE 6 braking is quite unsuitable as the company claims and has also shown videos which suggest that the car has good regenerative braking.
However, it is fortunate that no one was hurt in the accident but Datsun faced a pocket cutting expense. As seen in the video, it seems the Datsun hit BE 6 at the rear due to sudden braking or lack of attention by the Datsun driver.
