Kids were seen dangerously driving an SUV on a Haryana street, narrowly avoiding collisions
A disturbing CCTV video has gone viral on social media, showing underage children dangerously driving an SUV on a residential street in Haryana.
The video, shared by the Instagram page Ghar Ke Kalesh, shows a boy—appearing to be in his early teens—behind the wheel of a white SUV. He loses control of the vehicle, sending it careening through a narrow lane. The car takes a dangerous drift, nearly crashing into a bike rider, who escapes just in time thanks to his quick reflexes.

Close calls and chaos on a street
Moments later, another terrifying near-miss occurs. A child walking along the street narrowly avoids being hit as the speeding SUV rushes past him. In a second clip from a different angle, two other children can be seen walking on the same street. Upon noticing the speeding car, they quickly flee before the SUV crashes into a parked motorbike at the end of the lane.
The chaos doesn’t end there. As soon as the SUV comes to a halt, the children inside the vehicle step out, visibly shaken. Residents nearby rush toward the scene, some in panic and others in anger, reacting to what could have been a fatal accident.
