A major accident was narrowly avoided on the Nighasan-Palia Highway in Uttar Pradesh’s Lakhimpur Kheri district on Wednesday when a car plunged into a nearly 10-foot-deep ditch while trying to avoid a motorcyclist. The ditch was filled with water, and the five people inside the car began to drown as the vehicle started sinking. Seeing the situation unfold, five friends who were nearby immediately jumped into the ditch, risking their own lives to rescue those trapped inside.
According to reports, all five occupants were inside the car when it suddenly went off the road and fell into the ditch. Panic broke out as the vehicle began filling with water. Without wasting time, the five young men entered the ditch one after another and managed to pull all the occupants out after a difficult rescue effort.
