In the video you will see the spare tyre from the Karnataka Govt. a bus falls on the road causing a potential accident situation. I was driving behind the bus at 40-50 kms speed, with my presence of mind I was able to doge the wheel and avoid the accident.”

The vehicles that were behind also showed alertness and skipped the spare wheel which was on the road. “The Innova vehicle coming behind my car almost hit the wheel and was able to avoid hitting the wheel. I was honking, chasing the bus to stop him and let him know that the spare tire was lost on the road,” added Prateek on his X post.

Meanwhile, the KSRTC has acknowledged the incident and said that the action will be taken. A user in the comments said, “Leave enough space to stop without crashing, when the vehicle ahead stops without using its own braking distance - by hitting a wall or the back of a stationary truck.”
