A dramatic rescue from Uttar Pradesh’s Pilibhit has captured widespread attention after a man risked his life to save a drowning driver trapped inside a sinking SUV. The incident unfolded when Shubham Tiwari, who was driving an SUV, landed in a pond while attempting to avoid hitting a child who suddenly appeared on the road.
As the vehicle plunged into the water and began to sink, resident Faizal, who happened to be nearby on a boat, leaped into action. Without wasting a second, he maneuvered his boat toward the sinking SUV and jumped into the pond to reach Tiwari, who was motionless and struggling for his life.

Meanwhile, in another instance, tables were seen exactly turned around. A shocking scene unfolded in the Waluj area of Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, Maharashtra, after a truck transporting beer overturned on Ranjangaon Road on its way to a delivery station. The accident occurred when the driver drifted sharply to avoid a man standing on the road, causing the vehicle to lose balance and topple over. The impact crushed the truck’s cabin, trapping the driver inside.
