WATCH: Driver escapes car after driving it into lake in India

Learner driver accidentally plunges car into Telangana lake while practicing with instructor; both swim to safety.

In an incident in the Indian state of Telangana, a person learning to drive accidentally drove his car into a lake.

A viral video circulating on social media shows a car partially submerged in Bhutokma Kunta Lake, with two individuals inside—the trainee driver and his instructor—swimming to safety.

The footage also shows a passerby jumping into the water to help both reach the shore safely, while local residents can be seen standing by the lake's edge.

This incident reportedly occurred when the learner was practicing driving near the lake under the guidance of his instructor.

However, moments later, the learner mistakenly pressed the accelerator instead of the brake, causing the car to plunge into the water.
