New Delhi, january 21, 2026: In a haunting reminder of how quickly “thrill” can turn into “tragedy,” a 70-second viral video has surfaced detailing the final moments of a horrific car crash in Udaipur that claimed the lives of four young men.
The incident, which occurred in the early hours of Saturday, January 17, 2026, has sent shockwaves across social media. The footage, recorded from inside the vehicle, captures a lethal combination of overspeeding, distracted driving, and a total disregard for safety.
The video begins with a deceptive sense of celebration. Six friends were reportedly returning from a ‘Mehfil-e-Milad’ program near Nela Talab and were headed for a late-night tea run.
In the footage, the driver, identified as Sher Mohammad, is seen holding a cigarette in one hand while steering with the other. Haryanvi music blasts from the car’s sound system, creating a chaotic atmosphere. As the car cruises onto the Ahmedabad Bypass, the speedometer becomes the focal point of the recording.
Despite the warnings, the car continues at a breakneck pace. Just 70 seconds into the recording, the celebration ends in a deafening sound of screeching tires and shattering glass.
The most harrowing part of the footage isn’t the speed, but the aftermath. As the car overturned and collided with another vehicle, the camera continued to record in the darkness.
The silence that followed the crash was broken by the agonizing screams of the survivors. One of the young men can be heard crying out, “Mummy bachalo” (Mother, save me) and “I can’t breathe,” pleading for help for nearly ten minutes before passersby could reach the mangled wreckage.
By the time emergency services arrived at the Savina police station area, the scene was one of total devastation. Both cars involved were reduced to heaps of twisted metal.
Authorities have launched a full investigation into the crash, using the viral video as primary evidence of reckless driving. The incident has once again sparked a national conversation about road safety and the “vlog culture” where young drivers film dangerous stunts for social media clout.
The tragedy serves as a somber lesson: the high of a few seconds of speed is never worth the lifetime of grief left behind for the families.
