Amazing scene

Look at the audacity of this truck driver. In Hyderabad, a biker miraculously survives a collision with a speeding truck. The bike is dragged under the truck, leaving the driver hanging for kilometers. @hydcitypolice kindly look into the matter.#Hyderabad #truck #bike pic.twitter.com/UU4B9mDgL7
