The accident took place on Monday on the Chandragiri bypass near Tirupati, Andhra Pradesh. Moreover, it is also worth mentioning that the tractor involved in the accident was driving on the wrong side of the road.
While no one sustained any serious injuries, the Mercedes-Benz SUV involved in the accident proved its mettle and build quality. However, the same cannot be said about the tractor as it was split in half.

Speaking about this model, the SUV sports a 3.0-litre, twin-turbo, petrol engine with 362bhp of peak power and 520Nm of peak torque.

Speaking about the accident involving Cyrus Mistry, it was reported that Mr Mistry was seated on the back seat of a Mercedes Benz GLC SUV and the accident is said to have taken place around 2.30 pm.
