A viral video of a road rage incident on a mountainous road has sparked heated online discussions and outrage after it was shared on X (formerly Twitter) with the caption “road rage between bike and truck.” The video has garnered over 600,000 views and is widely discussed.
Truck’s Aggressive Move Forces Biker to Fall
The video shows three bikers riding along a narrow winding road. When they were approaching a sharp, blind turn, a truck came out of nowhere, aggressively manoeuvring the road and pushing one of the bikers to fall. While the biker was lying on the ground, the truck still continued its aggressive advance and left the viewers stunned. No major injuries or damages were reported.
Online Comments: The Opinions on Who Is Responsible
The accident triggered a lot of commentaries on the Internet. Most people were highly criticizing the truck driver as careless. Some of the comments like “Truck was totally on the wrong side at the curve!! Truck fault” were highlighting the people’s anger. On the other hand, some defended the truck driver and referred to the difficulty of turning on an uphill with a full-load truck.

One user argued, “A fully loaded truck going uphill requires a wide turning radius and cannot stop abruptly. The downhill riders should have yielded to avoid the incident.”
Context and Safety Concerns
The location and timing of the video are unknown, and so one could only speculate on the entire context surrounding the incident. However, the video footage is an ominous reminder of the perils of navigating narrow mountainous roads and the urgency of adhering to strict road safety protocols.
Earlier Tragedy on Jaipur-Ajmer Highway
This is the latest accident where a truck, which is loaded with chemicals, smashed into an LPG tanker and other vehicles. At least 13 people lost their lives after this inferno occurred in an accident on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway earlier this month.
As the video has recently surfaced online and gained ground, it has resurfaced debate about road safety and further stricter traffic regulation in India that could potentially save those from such accidents in the near future.
