A chilling dash camera video captured in north Bengaluru has gone viral, showing a man jumping in front of a moving car near an underpass in the Jakkur area. The incident, which occurred at night, has sparked widespread attention on social media platforms. The video shows the man suddenly appearing in front of the car, causing the driver to swerve in an attempt to avoid a collision. Many users on X (formerly Twitter) have expressed their shock, while others emphasized the importance of dash cameras for road safety.
The Bengaluru City Police’s Sampigehalli station has been notified of the incident via social media, and officials are expected to review the footage to take appropriate action. The video also highlights the poor street lighting in the area, with many users blaming local authorities for the lack of proper infrastructure and criticizing the government for its “negligence.”
In response to the incident, several users have pointed out that Jakkur is known for frequent traffic violations, especially after sunset, due to its poorly lit roads. This has further fueled the ongoing debate about road safety and infrastructure in Bengaluru.
Additionally, users have also highlighted the increasing frequency of road rage and dangerous incidents on Bengaluru’s streets. A recent road rage case in Thanisandra further amplified concerns over safety. Dash cameras, as many pointed out, are becoming essential for documenting these occurrences and providing evidence in case of accidents or disputes.
