Bike Rider And Pillion Go Airborne After Turning Car Crashes Into Them [Video]

Hundreds of accidents happen on our roads every day. We have also seen several videos where careless driving or riding has caused accidents. In some cases, innocent road users become the victims. Here, we have one such video from Maharashtra where a biker and pillion go airborne after a car that took a turn at a junction suddenly crashed into them.

The video has been shared by Nikhil Rana on his YouTube channel. The dashcam video was shared with him by the car driver himself. The driver mentions that he didn’t crash into the bike intentionally and that it was an accident. He states that he was taking a turn at the junction when his vision was blinded by the A-pillar and the tall structure and fender in the median.

We can clearly see that the car was slowly taking a turn and was probably going to the petrol pump on the other side of the road. As the car turned, we see a bike coming from the opposite direction.

The bike is clearly captured in the camera, but the driver cannot see it as it is in his blind spot. The car driver turned the vehicle, and the moment he saw the bike, it was too late. The biker was also on the left side of the road, as he should be.

The car driver applied the brakes, but the biker didn’t have enough time or space to react. The bike crashed into the car, and the rider and pillion went airborne for a few seconds and landed back on the bike. They lost balance and fell on the road along with the bike.

All this happened in just a matter of seconds. The rider and pillion got up and started checking if they were injured. Locals passing by looked at them, but no one stopped. It doesn’t look like they suffered any major injuries. The car owner also doesn’t mention if the accident damaged his car or not.

In this case, both the car driver and the biker are at fault. If you notice, the car took the turn a bit too fast, and that is what caused the accident. If the car driver was planning to take the turn, he should have reduced his speed even more. Ideally, he should have stopped the car and honked a couple of times to ensure that vehicles coming from the other side noticed him.

He should have waited a few seconds and, after ensuring that there was no vehicle, continued to the other side. Blind spots are something that exist in every car. In this case, if the car driver had kept more to the left side of the cut, he might have spotted the vehicle earlier.

The reason we say that the biker is also at fault is because he was not wearing a helmet. The rider and pillion were lucky that the road was not too busy and they didn’t fall or hit their heads on the road. If that had happened, they would have been in serious trouble. A helmet is a must while riding a two-wheeler, and we feel the biker realises that after this incident.
