A Bengaluru biker narrowly escaped a potentially fatal accident when he jumped off his motorcycle moments before a water tanker ran over it on a severely damaged, waterlogged road. The incident occurred on the Gunjur-Palya CDP Road, where deep potholes and accumulated water have created hazardous commuting conditions. Sourabh Agrawal, a Walmart employee, was traveling on the road when he encountered several large potholes filled with water.
As he maneuvered his motorcycle through the difficult stretch, a water tanker attempted to navigate one of the potholes and lost stability, suddenly moving towards the biker. Agrawal jumped away from his motorcycle just in time, escaping with his life. The tanker, which had no number plate, continued down the road after the incident, leaving the rider visibly shaken.
The driver of the tanker, who had recently learned to drive, was arrested following the incident. The circumstances have raised concerns about road safety and enforcement, particularly when heavy vehicles and two-wheelers share damaged roads.
