A man was critically injured after his car fell into a 300-foot gorge during a stunt at Karad’s Table Point, a popular but unsafe tourist spot lacking safety measures.
A man was critically injured after his car plunged 300 feet into a deep gorge while performing a stunt on Wednesday evening at the popular Table Point on the Patan-Sadavaghapur road in Karad, Maharashtra.
The man, identified as Sahil Anil Jadhav from Gholeshwar, was reportedly attempting car stunts with his friends when he lost control of the vehicle. The car went off the edge and got stuck in the gorge.
Sahil sustained serious injuries and is currently undergoing treatment at Sahyadri Hospital. A video of the incident has gone viral on social media, clearly showing that the accident occurred during a stunt.
Table Point, located about 3 to 4 km from Patan in the Gujarwadi area, is flat terrain flanked by deep valleys and is known for its scenic inverted waterfall view. It attracts numerous tourists daily who stop here for photography and sightseeing.
However, the spot lacks basic safety infrastructure such as protective railings, making it extremely dangerous for visitors. Despite previous accidents, no safety measures have been implemented by the authorities. The absence of a police presence has also led to frequent unruly behaviour at the site.
