Child on moving bike escapes miraculously, parents thrown off

A family of three had a miraculous escape as their two-wheeler raced for more than 200 metres with just the toddler on the busy Tumkuru road here after the parents got thrown off when the motorcycle dashed against another.

The incident took place on Sunday but a video of it recorded on a dash-cam of another vehicle has now gone viral.

The video shows the couple speeding on a bike, with the child in front, and ramming into another two-wheeler.

The couple are then seen thrown off the bike due to the impact of the collision, even as the toddler continued to remain seated on the moving vehicle.

The motorcycle kept moving ahead for about 200 to 300 metres amid ongoing traffic which included a truck before hitting a median and coming to a stop.

The toddler fell on the median and escaped unhurt as there was grass on it, they added.

The couple suffered minor injuries and were undergoing treatment at a hospital nearby, officials said.

The rider of the other two-wheeler too suffered injuries and was being treated at a local hospital, they said, adding that his relatives have approached police.

The couple on the bike were reportedly not wearing helmets when the incident took place.
