Careless Truck Driver Enters The Road And Causes Biker To Crash [Video]
Riding a bike in India is always very dangerous, as no matter how careful you are, you can still end up in an accident due to someone else’s fault. Recently, a video of a biker crashing into a truck coming onto the road has been shared online. This accident shows how the truck driver, who did not stop before entering the road, caused the biker to crash into the wheel of the truck and suffer serious injuries.
This video of a biker crashing into the truck coming onto the road has been shared on YouTube. It can be noted that the two bikers were riding their bikes on curvy mountain roads. We can see that they were riding at a normal road speed and were wearing complete safety gear, including a helmet, jacket, knee pads, and everything.
Truck driver enters the road
Now, as the riders were riding, what happens suddenly is that a truck driver enters the road from the left side. It can be observed that the truck driver did not pay any attention to the incoming traffic and entered the road. This caused the biker riding ahead to immediately brake.
Unfortunately, he could not control the bike in time, and as he braked very hard, the rear wheel of his bike left the ground, forcing him into a stoppie. Following this, he crashed into the wheel of the truck and fell under the truck with his bike stuck on the wheel.
What happened next?
Soon after this crash took place, the rider whose camera recorded this footage went ahead. He then immediately dropped his bike and went to check on his riding buddy. We can also note that two other bikers who were riding behind them also dropped their bikes to rescue their friend.
The video then shows that the biker was thrown under the truck’s rear wheel. We can also note that his bike was lodged into the truck’s wheel well. Thankfully, his friends came in time, immediately removed the bike, and then tried rescuing him.
At the moment, we do not know the severity of the rider’s injuries. However, it appears that he was hit with a heavy impact. Most likely, there could be some broken bones as he directly hit the truck at the wheel well. However, there is some hope that his riding gear could have protected him from serious injuries.
Who was at fault?
The entire fault in this accident is the truck driver’s. We can note that he was entering the road from the left side. When someone is about to enter the road, they should first stop and check for incoming traffic from both sides. However, in this case, the careless truck driver entered the road without waiting.
This immediate entrance caught the biker off-guard, and he hit the brakes with force. This caused him to lose his balance and crash. Whether a police report was registered against the truck driver by the riders or not has not been reported.
Always be alert!
Riding a two-wheeler in India is not an easy task. You always have to pay attention to the road and the surroundings. People here can enter from any side and cause accidents, as seen above. Also, wearing proper riding gear is very important because, in case of severe accidents, the riding gear protects the riders from suffering serious injuries.
