In the video, one can see that the windshield of the grey-coloured Ford EcoSport has endured a significant amount of damage, however, it is still not clear how the car was overturned in the middle of the road. Also, one man who might be the owner of the vehicle is seen unlocking the door and checking the inside of it.
The video has a caption that stresses on the spirit of Mumbaikars. It reads as, “The famous Mumbaikar spirit seen here in full force as people passing by helped and got an overturned car back on its feet in Walkeshwar." One said that after the car was brought back on its wheels, everyone went on with their business and that is why Mumbai is a no-nonsense city full of helpful people.
