Dashcam video shared by X user @3rdEyeDude shows the two-wheeler trailing a BMTC bus along with some other motocycles when the rear tyre suddenly bursts. The scooter can be seen wobbling badly and the couple and the child tumbling on to the road.

The scooterists sustained some minor injuries and were lucky that there was no speeding vehicle coming behind them. The incident occurred last Tuesday afternoon.
