Woman biker hit by a chasing car in Gurugram: Watch

A woman biker was thrown off her motorcycle after a car allegedly hit her vehicle on Golf Course Road in Gurugram and drove away without stopping to help. The rider said the car's occupants had been chasing her group since the start of their ride and did not back off even after she asked them to keep some distance.

The rider, who goes by the name Sia and runs the Instagram page rebelwheels_sia_, was riding her Aprilia RS 457 with fellow bikers when the incident took place. She shared a video of the crash online, along with her account of what led up to it.

Car allegedly followed rider from the startAccording to Sia, the men in the car appeared drunk and began behaving aggressively soon after her ride began. She said she asked them to maintain distance, but instead of doing so, the occupants told her to stop her bike. She continued riding ahead to keep the car from blocking her path, while a friend riding behind attempted to shield her from the vehicle.

Sia alleged the car kept pursuing her before the driver tried to cut in front of her motorcycle. In doing so, the vehicle struck her bike, throwing her onto the road and dragging the motorcycle a short distance. The driver did not stop to check on her and left the spot immediately. The entire sequence was captured on an action camera fitted on her bike.

Friend chased the car and confronted the driverSia said one of her friends chased the car after the crash and managed to catch up with it at a traffic signal. Her friend confronted the driver and told him the crash was his fault, but the driver reportedly denied responsibility and drove off again before further action could be taken.

Rider appeals to Gurugram PoliceIn her video, Sia appealed to Gurugram Police to act against drivers who put other road users at risk and leave the scene after causing an accident. She also shared the registration number of the car and the name of the person in whose name the vehicle is registered, asking authorities to trace the driver. I have nothing to say, but today I felt unsafe on Gurugram roads. People like these aren't afraid of hitting people and running away,

Social media users demand actionThe video quickly went viral, with several social media users expressing concern and demanding strict action against the driver. Many tagged Gurugram Police, Gurugram Traffic Police, Delhi Police and Haryana Police in their comments, urging them to trace the vehicle using the registration details shared by Sia.

Sia said in her video. Several users praised her for wearing proper riding gear, saying it likely prevented more serious injuries during the crash. Others called for the driver's licence to be cancelled and for legal action to follow, with one comment noting that attempts to reach the driver's number had failed as it was switched off. A number of users also flagged the incident as reflecting a larger concern about the safety of women riders on Gurugram roads.

As of now, there has been no official confirmation from Gurugram Police regarding action taken against the driver named in the video.
