Himachal Pradesh has been experiencing heavy snowfall this month, which turned the state into a picturesque winter wonderland. However, this beauty has also brought challenges for locals and tourists alike. Many have faced the dangers of driving on icy as vehicles skid out of control.
Recently, one such video went viral on social media showing a small truck in Manali slipping down a snowy road and falling into the Valley. The incident highlights the risks of driving in the region’s harsh winter conditions.
The video shows the truck beginning to slip on the icy road, and at that moment, the driver quickly jumps out of the moving vehicle, narrowly escaping a potentially tragic fall.
