Sunday night, Blaiz was rammed by a truck sideways. The accident
took place on Kolkata’s VIP Road while dad was returning home from a client’s
birthday celebrations. It was almost 11:30 p.m and at such late hours heavy
vehicles such as trucks and lorries could be seen everywhere bullying smaller
vehicles while being controlled by intoxicated illiterate irresponsible drivers
who could easily be considered as the second biggest threat to society after
terrorists. Dad was driving on the 3rd lane of the 4-lane wide road
when a truck rammed into Blaiz on the right side while trying to overtake
another truck at high speed. Thankfully the truck didn’t hit the car from
behind otherwise the accident could have had been fatal. We can only thank God that
dad didn’t suffer even a single scratch whereas Blaiz got almost torn on the
side as the truck’s front wheel and it’s protruding screws drilled into it.
The
right side rear fender was the most badly injured and endured most of the
collision pressure. The wheel-cap got completely crushed and got stuck in the
upper side of the wheel-well.
The gates got pretty badly dented as well. However,
I would take an opportunity to applaud Renault Mahindra’s superb build quality
and body strength where Blaiz endeavoured much of the pressure without much
crumbling whereas any other car would have been ripped apart !
The truck driver got thrashed by some local people followed
by the truck and the truck driver being locked at the Lake Town Police Station.

| The culprit |
Blaiz is currently recovering at the Mahindra workshop and hopefully
it will soon roar upon the roads in its full glory. Regular updates of Blaiz’s
recovery will be posted here.
Hoping the bad times get over soon.
