Owning a car is a dream for many. When the day to take the delivery of your first car comes, a little excitement is natural. However, things just went overboard in the case of one Tata Punch owner who lost control and crashed the brand new SUV into a wall. The incident was caught on the CCTV camera of the Tata showroom and later shared on YouTube by DSD Cars. The video shows the new owner sitting in the driver's seat as showroom staff awaits the customary handover photo-op.
One staff member is seen explaining the car’s functions to the owner but the vehicle suddenly moves forward on the ramp down from the showroom. Fortunately, the owner manages to stop the car and gets ready to take it down. He makes a sharp left turn and instead of moving towards the exit gate, it comes back to hit the vehicle into the wall right outside the showroom. He almost crashes his Tata Punch into the Audi car parked next to the wall.

Thankfully, neither the driver nor anyone else standing there was harmed but the excitement of a new car must have mellowed in face of the accident.
