The visuals raised eyebrows online, with many social media users questioning the cause of the accident, and how the driver lost control of the vehicle. The video showed a biker being knocked down and ran over before the bus crashed into a car. It is probable that he suffered grievous injuries. However, it is not yet clear if any passengers aboard the bus or other commuters were injured in the incident.

Once the bus comes to a halt, traffic personnel are seen rushing to aid the fallen biker. It is being said that the accident took place in Bengaluru's Whitefield area, however Hindustan Times could not immediately confirm this information.

Officials from the Mahadevapura traffic police station responded to the video on X, and said that an investigation is underway. “Definitely distracted driving,” a user wrote in reaction to the video.

“Clearly he was over speeding. Seems he was unable to stop his vehicle on time due to high speed,” another posted.
