In what could be described as extremely unfortunate, a bike rider from Junagadh has suffered serious injury after his bike got stuck in a pothole. The area around the pothole was filled with rainwater, which made the pothole invisible to the rider, and the driver suffered a serious head injury.

In the footage, the driver could be seen in extreme agony, and his partner, a lady, could be seen trying to hold him. Such is the severity of the impact that the biker was having trouble standing on his own. Nearby people came to rescue.

While it is true that the uncovered pothole is the culprit for this accident, the impact on the head could have been much less had the driver worn a helmet. The man could be seen holding his forehead, indicating the traumatic pain. As per reports, he has been admitted to the hospital and is under observation.

In the footage, a PCR van could be seen passing by, but it’s not confirmed whether the police people came out of it to help the injured rider or not.

Netizens Reaction

Ever since the video has gone viral, netizens are expressing their extreme anger, demanding the resignation of the local politicians who haven’t done timely road repair. The debate is still around the corruption in the system, which seems to have ingrained too deeply at all levels.
