Overview
- A white car parked on a sloped road in Gurez Valley began rolling after tourists stepped out to take photos and then plunged into a gorge, footage shows.
- The car started moving on Wednesday, witnesses chased it in vain, and no one was inside the vehicle when it fell so there were no reported injuries.
- The clip was posted on X by user Nikhil Saini and quickly went viral, driving most commentary about the incident.
- Social media users and news outlets pointed to likely causes such as a disengaged handbrake or the vehicle not left in gear and urged simple hill‑parking steps like setting the handbrake, leaving the car in gear, turning wheels and using stones or wheel chocks.
- The video has renewed public warnings about unsafe photo stops at scenic hill viewpoints and could prompt more traveler caution and clearer safety messaging for mountain roads.
