BENGALURU: In a reminder of how dangerous it can be to stand out from a vehicle’s sunroof, a young boy hit his head against a barricade on GKVK Road in Vidyaranyapura on Saturday. He was immediately rushed to a hospital.

In a video doing the rounds on social media, the young boy can be seen standing on the seat of a compact SUV with his head sticking out of the sunroof. However, as the vehicle approaches a barricade meant to prevent movement of heavy vehicles, neither the boy nor the car driver notice it.
