Man Jumps Out Moments Before Tempo Skids, Falls Into Valley In Manali, Chilling Video Surface

Manali: A chilling video has surfaced on social media that captures moments before a man jumps out of a tempo truck moments before it rolls down a snowy road in Himachal Pradesh 's Manali and slips into the Solang Valley.

The video captures the vehicle beginning to slip on the slippery road as it was snowing severely in town. The driver quickly stepped out of the moving truck, narrowly averting a fatal fall. He also attempted to stop the truck as shown in the video, but even he was seen slipping on the road. Within seconds, the truck had fallen into the valley.

A similar event occurred earlier this month when a Mahindra Thar skidded off the snow-covered road near the Atal Tunnel, which connects Manali to Lahaul-Spiti Valley. The driver managed to get out of the moving vehicle.
