When life throws you unexpected situations, how you handle it will make all the difference. If you’re doubting this, take a look at the viral story of a man whose unshakable calm in the face of a terrifying accident is leaving everyone amazed. What unfolded raises serious questions about road safety, but his reaction was nothing short of extraordinary.
The incident, captured by a traffic camera on a bustling street in India, starts out unremarkable. Vehicles are moving as usual until a scooter rider enters the frame. As he attempts to switch lanes, he miscalculates and crashes into the road divider.
The scooter, propelled by the divider’s odd elevation, flies into the adjacent lane. The rider, meanwhile, is launched straight onto the bonnet of an oncoming pickup truck. Thankfully, the truck driver hit the brakes just in time, preventing serious injury.
Instead of panicking or freezing in shock, the rider springs to his feet as if nothing happened. Ignoring the stunned onlookers, he calmly directs traffic to restore order. Only after clearing the chaos does he turn his attention to his scooter, now wedged under the truck’s front wheels.
Watch the video:
The man has not been identified yet, but the video has gone viral on social media, amassing over 100,000 views and numerous comments.
One user wrote, “This is that comment you are looking for: India is not for beginners.”
Another individual commented, “This is San Andreas.” A third user owrote, “99 missed calls from Rohit Shetty.”
A fourth user commented, “The alertness of the truck driver is commendable. He braked at the right time & that’s why the rider & his scooter were intact.”
