Just a few days ago, a video became viral online which showed an MG Hector crashing into the roundabout and then catching on fire at the spot. Well, the owner of this particular MG Hector has now shared an emotional post of how they welcomed their Hector 3 years ago and how they had to part ways with it. In the post, the woman thanked her MG Hector for saving her and her entire family after the horrific accident.
The video showing how this MG Hector met its demise has been shared on Instagram by Gaikwad Komal on their page. This short video starts with a newly bought MG Hector coming out of the door of the MG dealership, following which the front and side shots of this SUV have been shown in the clip. Soon after this, the next clips show the accident which took place on a roundabout in Chhatrapati Sambhaji Nagar.

We can note that the MG Hector was speeding on the Samruddhi Expressway when, just before the roundabout, it jumped over a massive speedbreaker and then crash-landed on the roundabout. It can be noted that all airbags of this SUV were deployed, and the vehicle soon after stopping caught on fire. Thankfully, all the occupants of this SUV were able to escape the vehicle in time without any serious injuries.
The above clip then shows the MG Hector on a flatbed after it was completely destroyed by the fire. It can be noted that the complete interior and exterior of this SUV have burned down. Only the shell and the engine block of this SUV are left. Meanwhile, the rest of the components, including seats, windows, rubber parts, and other mechanical parts, have burnt to the ground.
Another clip showing what exactly happened at the time of the crash and the burned-out Hector at the roundabout has been shared by the owner. A number of people stopped at the roundabout to check out this burnt SUV.

The woman owner who has shared these videos of the accident and the aftermath of her MG Hector has not mentioned what exactly happened which led to this accident. However, the videos show that the SUV was being driven at a high speed on the Samruddhi Expressway when it drove over the speed breaker and then crashed into the roundabout.
Most likely, when the vehicle was being dragged on the roundabout before coming to a halt, its fuel tank caught on fire, which led to the eruption of flames as seen in the clips. Thankfully, the occupants of this SUV were saved by the airbags and were quickly able to come out of it in time before it was completely burnt to the ground.

As for the main reason why we think this accident took place, it is due to driver distraction. Most likely, the driver did not note the massive speed breaker on the expressway, and as the speed of the vehicle was high, the brakes did not help. However, there are some netizens who have commented that this particular roundabout has become an accident-prone zone, and other major accidents have taken place at the same spot
