Terrifying Video Shows Man Flinging 6-Month Old Baby From Car, While It Is Sinking Into A River

In a shocking road accident, a car veered off and fell into a river while trying to avoid collision with an autorickshaw.

The driver didn't anticipate that the sharp turn that he took, could push the car down. In a video that's going viral, the car is seen steadily sinking into the water.

The accident happened when a family from Orai in Uttar Pradesh was visiting Orchha in MP to visit a temple. 40-year-old Lalman Tripathi was driving the car with his family when it went into the river, a tributary of Betwa.

What's even more terrifying is that apart from four members in the car, there was a 6-month-old baby.

The child's father, in an attempt to save the kid, threw him towards the bridge where the people were standing to catch him. The man named Tripathi took out his six-month-old son Arambh, and threw him towards the onlookers standing on the edge of the bridge and said Pakdo.

However, the boy fell into the river. The entire incident was captured in the CCTV cameras installed at the stretch.

According to Orchha police, the victims were immediately rushed to the hospital and the car was recovered from the river. A police officer said all the family members - including the baby - are in good health and later left for Orai after visiting the temple.

In a similar incident, a Kerala toddler who fell from jeep was rescued by auto driver. CCTV footage of the miraculous escape of the toddler went viral.

On September 8, the one-year-old child was travelling with her family when the toddler fell from the jeep in Idukki, Kerala. The CCTV footage showed how the child crawled to a ticket counter several metres away.

The family of the one-year-old realised that the child was missing only after reaching their house in Kambilikandam in Idukki. The auto-driver spotted the kid and reported it to the police station, after which he was reunited with his family.
