<p>Apple Watch is no stranger to saving lives in fact many believe that they are still able to breathe air due to that. Recently another such incident has come to light where an Indian entreprenuer named Kuldeep Dhankar survived a car crash with the help of the Apple Watch that he was wearing. Dhankar, founder of Last9.io, shared a photo on X showing his damaged car and a police officer assessing the accident scene on a US highway. He explained in the post that his vehicle was rear-ended while he was stuck in standstill traffic.</p>

The quick action of the device’s crash detection feature, combined with the prompt assistance from the California Highway Patrol, played a crucial role in ensuring his safety and allowed him to resume his journey with minimal disruption.</p>
