Kerala Student Narrowly Escapes Death As Bus Stops Inches Away From His Head | Video

A college student in Kerala’s Malappuram narrowly escaped death in a road accident on Sunday. The incident was caught on CCTV and has since gone viral on social media.

The student was riding his bike along a busy road when he suddenly lost control and fell onto the carriageway.

CCTV footage shows the two-wheeler slipping slightly before the rider falls onto the road, landing directly in the path of an approaching bus.

In just a few seconds, the situation turned dangerously close to tragedy as the bus, travelling right behind, approached the fallen student. Thanks to the driver’s quick reflexes and alertness, the bus stopped immediately, coming to a halt mere inches from the student and narrowly averting what could have been a fatal accident.

Soon

after the incident, the bystanders rushed to the spot, helping the student move to safety. He reportedly suffered only minor injuries and received prompt medical attention. Authorities confirmed that no one else was hurt in the incident.
