After a car went into the plunge pool of a waterfall in Indore, MP, a guy dived in and saved one of the occupants, while the other was saved by individuals who followed suit, news agency PTI reported. The red automobile can be seen in the video approaching the edge of a rock surface and plunging into the plunge pool after turning over once, during which its front door opens and then closes.
A man near the pool can be seen leaping in and swimming towards the car, where the screams of a small girl can be heard. Others may be seen in the video descending down from the edge of the granite surface and going towards the automobile.
“I saw a car falling into the waterfall. A man and his 13-year-old daughter, who were the two occupants of the car, were trying hard to get off even as the vehicle was sliding. However, the car fell while the duo was inside,” Sunil Mathew (26), who works in a private firm, informed PTI.
“They were drowning. I jumped in and saved the man inside the car. His daughter was saved by those around. I was in shock for sometime looking at the incident but then gathered courage to jump in,” he said.
Mathew expressed gratitude that both his father and daughter were saved.
Meanwhile, Superintendent of Police (Rural) Sunil Mehta stated that the event occurred owing to the driver's irresponsibility.
“The car was negligently parked very close to the pool of the waterfall. We have learnt that the car started rolling after its trunk was closed forcefully and then fell into the pool of the waterfall,” the SP was quoted by PTI in its report.
According to eyewitnesses, the location had a large number of picnickers owing to the rains and the fact that it was a Sunday.
