A tragic incident in Bengaluru has once again brought the issue of road rage to the forefront. On Wednesday night, a 21-year-old delivery agent lost his life after his motorcycle was rammed by a car driven by an enraged driver.
The incident unfolded in the Vidyaranyapura area after a minor collision between the victim’s motorcycle and the car while they were stuck in traffic. An argument ensued, which quickly escalated into a terrifying chase through the streets of Bengaluru. The car driver, driven by blind rage, pursued the motorcycle relentlessly and ultimately struck it from behind.
The impact of the collision threw the victim off his bike, and he succumbed to his injuries. The CCTV footage of the incident, which has gone viral on social media, clearly depicts the high-speed chase and the violent impact.
The incident comes just days after a separate road rage incident in Bengaluru where an enraged biker attacked a couple and their seven-month-old child. This incident, which occurred on Monday night near Doddakannalli on Sarjapur Road, was triggered after the car driver applied his brakes without signaling. The biker, seemingly enraged by the perceived lack of courtesy, proceeded to break the car’s windshield, causing injuries to the child.
In another incident on Saturday night in Mumbai, two individuals were arrested for attacking and injuring a 34-year-old priest. This attack, which occurred in the Kandivali suburb, was also attributed to road rage, and authorities are searching for two more individuals suspected of involvement.
These incidents highlight the growing problem of road rage in India, raising concerns about public safety and the need for better traffic management and anger management programs. It is essential to address the underlying causes of road rage and implement effective measures to prevent future tragedies.
