- 5 years ago
This is the terrifying moment a car used a makeshift track to cross a damaged section of a mountain road in northern India.
A landslide damaged part of Salooni-Telka road in the mountainous region of Chamba district on August 22.
Local men gathered to help a few cars which were stranded.
They brought spare electricity poles to make two makeshift tracks across the damaged road.
They then guided the cars across.
A local reporter, who filmed the incident said:
“A small slip would have sent the cars down 50 feet. But in our district, this is a routine occurrence during the rainy season and people are used to taking such risks.”
The local administration is repairing the damaged road and diverted traffic.
