2 Killed as SUV Plunges into Canal in Gujarat as They Shoot Reel
The world of social media has often been criticized for its reckless and dangerous content, and the latest incident in Gujarat, India, is a stark reminder of the devastating consequences that can arise from such actions. A video shared on social media shows an SUV plunging into the Fatehwadi Canal in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, while the occupants were trying to shoot a reel. Unfortunately, two people lost their lives in the incident, while one person is still missing.
The video, which has gone viral on social media, shows the SUV attempting to make a U-turn near the canal when the driver loses control, and the vehicle ends up in the water. The incident has raised serious concerns about the dangers of reckless driving and the risks associated with shooting videos on the road.
According to the police, the incident occurred on July 31, 2022, when the SUV, which was carrying three occupants, was trying to make a U-turn near the Fatehwadi Canal. The driver, in an attempt to make the turn, lost control of the vehicle, which plunged into the canal.
The occupants of the SUV were attempting to shoot a reel for social media when the incident occurred. The video, which was shot from inside the vehicle, shows the driver attempting to make the U-turn, but losing control of the vehicle as it goes into the canal.
“Two people have been killed in the incident, while one person is still missing,” said a police official. “The rescue operations are ongoing, and we are doing our best to locate the missing person.”
The police have launched an investigation into the incident and have booked the driver of the SUV under charges of culpable homicide and reckless driving.
This incident is not an isolated case, and there have been several instances in the past where people have lost their lives while trying to shoot videos for social media. In 2020, a group of friends died in a car crash while trying to shoot a viral video on a highway in California.
The incident has also raised concerns about the safety of social media content creators, who often take risks to shoot viral videos. Many experts believe that the pressure to go viral and the desire to attract more followers can often lead to reckless behavior, which can have devastating consequences.
In addition, the incident has also highlighted the need for stricter regulations on social media content. Many experts believe that social media platforms should take more responsibility for the content that is shared on their platforms and should do more to prevent the spread of dangerous and reckless content.
The incident has also led to an outpouring of grief and condolences from people across the country. Many have taken to social media to express their shock and sadness at the incident, and to pay tribute to the two people who lost their lives.
As the investigation into the incident continues, it is clear that the consequences of reckless driving and the pressure to go viral can be devastating. It is essential that social media content creators prioritize their safety and well-being and avoid taking unnecessary risks to shoot viral videos.
