The man, who was identified as 19-year-old Alex Silva Peres, was on a two-wheeler at a turning when he lost his balance and fell right under a bus coming from the opposite direction. The wheel is seen hitting Alex's head - which is covered with a helmet - and dragging him a few feet forward.
As the bus comes to a stop, his helmet is seen stuck under the rear wheel. The bus then reverses to release the helmet, while people gather to help the 19-year-old, who manages to walk away.
According to a report in NDTV, the incident took place on Monday. Alex was largely unharmed from the accident. He was going to a bakery to buy bread for his family when on a curve he came across a bus arriving. He was startled and tried to stop the bike, however, he slipped and ended up falling under the bus.
Meanwhile, the video of the horrifying crash has taken the internet by storm. IPS Gowda's post has accumulated more than 30,000 views and several likes and comments. “Omg very scary, but yes good helmet can save ur life,” wrote one user. “The video is scary and not from India. But the point is well understood,” added another.
