It’s in the human nature to find someone to blame for an accident, or two in this case, as after the Suzuki Vitara Mk1 (evidently) suffered a first crash, the final blow came when a group of men were trying to tow it up a hill.
We can only speculate what when wrong or what they could have done to prevent it – for example, we don’t know if they had pulled the emergency brake and set the shifter in gear or whether they had placed any rocks under the front tires, but the result is that the Vitara rolled down the hill to its death.
And contrary to popular belief or what ‘Hollywood’ would have you believe, the Japanese 4×4 did not blow up.
On a side note, if any of you know where this incident took place and / or have a link to the original, longer and uncut version of the video, shoot us an email or hit the comments area.
Update: As many of you pointed out, the accident took place in Chile. Also, thanks to Carscoop reader ‘TSD’, we now have a full set of videos documenting the crash as it happened.
