A near-fatal accident on Ramlila Road in Etawah sparked outrage after a motorcyclist skidded on loose soil that was allegedly left unattended after roadwork. The biker nearly collided with an oncoming SUV.
The incident occurred at night and captured on camera. It has since gone viral on social media, leading to strong criticism of municipal authorities.
How The SUV Accident occurs
According to a video circulating online, the motorcycle was traveling at a moderate speed on the dimly lit stretch of Ramlila Road when it suddenly hit a patch of loose gravel and soil scattered unevenly across the lane. The biker immediately lost traction. The rear wheel fishtailed, causing the rider to lose balance. Within seconds, the motorcycle skidded sideways and slid toward the opposite lane.
At the same moment, a compact SUV was approaching from the other direction. The fallen motorcycle slid directly into its path. The SUV either narrowly clipped or lightly struck the bike in what appeared to be a dangerous situation.
Allegations of Civic Negligence
Local residents have accused municipal authorities of negligence. They claim that loose soil from ongoing or incomplete roadwork left on the roadway without warning signs, barricades, or proper cleanup, despite repeated complaints. Authorities have not yet issued an official statement on the matter.
