An SUV rolled several times after it hit a divider on a highway in Tamil Nadu, killing five people. Four of them belonged to the same family.
The police in Madurai released CCTV footage of the accident that happened on the Virudhunagar-Madurai highway. It shows the white SUV hurtling down the left lane and moving towards the left, behind a slow-moving two-wheeler, before it hit the moped and rammed the concrete divider.
The sheer force of the impact launched the SUV into the air, kicking up a cloud of dust. It rolled many times towards the other side of the four-lane highway and landed on the service lane.
