The car fell from the hill and became upside down. The passengers in the vehicle were safe but the car was severely damaged. The A-pillars of the Scorpio-N retained their shape under the load but the front-end was severely damaged. The car was recovered with a backhoe.
While trying to save the scooter rider, the Scorpio-N crashed into a parked scooter and caused heavy damages to it as well. Since the Mahindra Scorpio-N is essentially a Rear Wheel Driven (RWD) vehicle, it can easily lose control over lose gravel and spin off just like this one.
There are videos of the same Scorpio-N doing donuts on the public roads. Since there are no video evidence or dashboard camera footage of the accident, we cannot comment on the authenticity of the series of events as mentioned by the YouTuber. However, it does seem like an extreme accident where the safe structure of the Scorpio-N saved the passengers.
