Scooter rider flying on road
The video showing this unique incident has been shared on Instagram by Amit Sharma on their page. It starts as a normal CCTV footage of a busy road. However, in just a moment, everything changes as a young man riding a scooter was seen flying.
Yes, you heard that right—he was indeed flying on the road along with his scooter. What happened was that this scooter rider accidentally drove over a divider. As can be seen in the video, the starting point of the divider was not blunt but rather had a small bump.
This bump then acted as a ramp, and due to the speed of the scooter, it started flying on the road. We can note that both the scooter and the rider were in the air. The rider took his hands off the handlebar, which caused his scooter to fall first as it was heavier.
On the other hand, the rider can be seen landing directly on the bonnet of a Mahindra Bolero pickup truck, which was coming from the opposite direction. Soon after this happened, a number of vehicles stopped on the road to see what actually happened.
Was the rider safe?
Fortunately, even after flying so high and then directly landing on the bonnet of the Bolero pickup truck, the rider was safe and immediately managed to stand up and walk away as well. He can be seen explaining to the other people on the road how exactly he landed on the Bolero pickup truck.
What caused this incident?
At the moment, it is not clear how exactly this incident took place. This is because the video directly starts from the point where the scooter rider drives onto the divider’s starting point. Most likely, prior to this, something took place because of which he had to abruptly turn his scooter towards the divider.
It could be possible that he was distracted while riding the scooter. However, we cannot confirm this. Another possible reason could be that some other vehicle might have come in his way, and to avoid hitting that vehicle, he turned the handle away, which caused this incident.

Over the years, there have been numerous cases in which, due to dividers, people have gotten into accidents. A while ago, a video was shared online in which a Hyundai Kona EV SUV was seen stuck on a divider in Rajasthan.
In this clip, a black Hyundai Kona was seen lodged three feet above on a road divider. How exactly this SUV landed on the divider is unknown. However, it was speculated that this incident must have taken place at a very high speed.
Apart from this, there have been many other instances where vehicles have been stuck on dividers. Just a few days ago, a video of a modified Thar being rescued by a JCB after being stuck on a divider was shared online.
