A video of a shocking dashcam from Mumbai has gone viral on social media, showing a Mahindra Thar SUV colliding with two riders and speeding away from the scene without stopping to help.
The incident has sparked widespread outrage online, with many users demanding strict action against the driver for the alleged hit-and-run.
Dashcam Records the whole incident
The footage was taken by a dashcam in a vehicle behind the riders. The Thar SUV makes contact with the two-wheeler, causing the riders to lose balance and fall onto the road, the report said.
Instead of stopping after the collision, the SUV continues its journey, leading to accusations of a hit-and-run. The video quickly spread online and was criticized for being reckless and not safe off the road.
Police Begin Investigation
Following the circulation of the dashcam footage, Mumbai Police began an investigation to identify the car and driver.
Authorities will also look at the viral video and take CCTV footage from nearby sites to verify the SUV’s registration information. Police are asking anyone with additional information about the incident to come forward and assist with the investigation.
Condition of the Riders
According to initial reports, the two riders were injured in the accident. It is not known just how much damage was done to them, but the extent of the injuries is not yet clear. Emergency assistance was given on the spot by some passersby shortly after the accident.
Police will record the victims' statements as part of their investigation.
Public Outrage Over Reckless Driving
The viral video has reignited concerns over reckless driving and hit-and-run incidents in major cities. Social media users have called for stringent punishment against motorists who flee accident scenes instead of helping injured victims.
Road safety experts say that leaving the scene of an accident can delay emergency medical care and lead to serious legal consequences under Indian law.
