A Bengaluru-based software engineer was in for a costly surprise after a highway accident left his Mercedes-Benz damaged, with an authorised service centre estimating the repair bill at Rs 61 lakh. The amount was roughly equal to what he had originally paid for the luxury car.
Adam Rizk, a software engineer at Amazon, shared details of the accident and the subsequent repair estimate in a social media post. He said his car hydroplaned while he was driving in heavy rain in Bengaluru, crossed a highway divider and landed in the opposite lane.
