In a post on X, Roshni Swadia tagged Mahindra Group Chairman Anand Mahindra and shared the horrifying details of the accident. According to her account, their Mahindra XUV300 was rammed from behind by another vehicle travelling at high speed. The collision sent their car spinning twice before it slammed into a roadside barrier.
"Sometimes, you don't realise the true value of a product until it protects your life. We recently met with a horrific accident on the Pune–Mumbai Expressway. Our Mahindra car was hit from behind at high speed, spun twice, and then crashed into the barrier," Swadia wrote.
