Narrow Escape: Man Survives Scooter Mishap in Chennai

A terrifying incident unfolded in Chennai on Thursday as Ashok Kumar, a resident of Aaduthotti, narrowly escaped death when his scooter became entangled in snapped overhead cables, propelling him under a passing bus.

While traversing near Kalmandapam, Ashok’s scooter collided with the broken internet cables, causing it to skid off the road and come under the front wheel of a Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) bus. Miraculously, the vigilant bus driver halted immediately, averting a potential tragedy, and Ashok emerged unscathed from the harrowing ordeal.

A video circulating on social media captured the heart-stopping moment as the front portion of Ashok’s scooter remained trapped beneath the bus, surrounded by the scattered remnants of snapped cables strewn across the roadway.

This harrowing incident serves as a stark reminder of the hazards posed by neglected overhead cables and underscores the importance of vigilance and prompt action in averting potential accidents.
