A driver scrambled out of his car just seconds before it tumbled down a mountain face.
The clip opens with the Tata Punch teetering on the precipice as three men try to stop it from falling.
But the car continues tilting precariously and they realise they are powerless to stop it.

A voice is heard saying: “Hey, brother, get out of the car.”
The men then run out of the way as the vehicle starts rolling backwards.
As it picks up speed, the driver makes a hasty exit through the open front door.
He’s forced into a backward roll as he lands on the rock-strewn terrain.
Meanwhile, his car side-flips 360 degrees as it drops over the steep edge.
It continues overturning as it tumbles for yards down the mountain face, taking out entire trees in its path.
Luckily, the driver manages to stop himself in the nick of time.
He remains lying face-down on the precipice, avoiding the same fate as his hapless motor.
The drama unfolded in Jammu and Kashmir, India, as reported on Need To Know.
It’s not clear how the car ended up where it did, but local media said the driver may have lost control on a steep mountain road.
One local Karthick replied: “He opened the door. Definitely some presence of mind.
“And some luck in delaying the fall.
“End result equals life saved.”
