The horrific clip - that was apparently recorded in a dash camera of a car behind the bike - showed a woman hitting the ground in seconds after she drove her two-wheeler on the battered road. A Twitter user, Rijesh. shared the video and wrote: “Caught in my dashcam. This happened the day before yesterday on kasturi nagar orr flyover. The biker skidded due to a pothole. Luckily the women escaped with minor injuries. Hope BBMP takes some action in filling up the potholes.(Sic)”
The video left many people shocked while others demanded accountability from the civic body. Though the area police have ensured to fix the stretch where the accident happened, the video has raised some important questions by the citizens.
