A video showing a car skidding on a snowy road, before hitting another car, which in turn flips and slides down the road, is being shared on social media.

  • The clip is being shared amid reports of vehicles skidding and ramming into each other due to slippery roads caused by snowfall in Manali, Himachal Pradesh.

But...?: The claim is false, as the video dates back to December 2025 and shows visuals from Malatya, Turkey.

How do we know?: We ran a reverse image search on the video, which led us to several videos and reports carrying the same visuals.

  • The video was also shared on 29 December 2025 by Turkish news agency Anadolu Agency, which had shared it as a video from the country's Yeşilyurt district of Malatya.

  • A report by the agency mentioned that the incident took place on a steep road in Yeşilyurt's Tecde neighbourhood.

  • A further search using Turkish keywords led us to more news reports about the incident.

  • One such report by Malatya Soz said that the area had received heavy snowfall overnight, which caused a lot of black ice on the road. Due to this, several vehicles were slipping on that street.

Conclusion: An old video from Malatya, Turkey is being shared to falsely claim that it shows visuals of cars slipping on ice in Manali.
