A car stopped safely on the roadside to offer two people a quick lift. Within moments, a speeding truck lost control and smashed into the waiting vehicle. The violent crash lifted the car’s front end before it crumpled against a street barrier. Remarkably, the two passengers escaped without serious injury or broken bones.
Driver Errors and Truck Misconduct Stir Widespread Fear
Many locals worry after seeing the viral video that both the car driver and the truck driver were at fault. The car had halted in a live traffic lane to pick up passengers, creating an unexpected and dangerous obstacle. At the same time, the truck was speeding down the road with little regard for nearby vehicles, leaving no room for a safe reaction.
Such poor judgment on both sides reflects a wider problem on Pune’s crowded streets. This isn’t the first time reckless truck driving or poor parking decisions have led to serious accidents. In March 2025, a dumper truck collided head-on with a car near Theur Phata, killing a 36-year-old sales tax inspector and his elderly father, while injuring three others.
Similarly, in October 2023, a military truck rammed into a car near Gahunje on the Pune–Mumbai Expressway, resulting in one death and two injuries. The truck driver was later booked for rash driving. These cases, paired with the latest viral clip, highlight an urgent need for stricter road safety enforcement. Citizens fear that without accountability, such dangerous patterns will only grow more frequent.
Pune Viral Video Sparks Outrage, Demands for Strict Action
Residents across Pune flooded social media rapidly with strong reactions to the shocking Pune viral video. “Pune’s traffic system has collapsed? They know our law and order very well?” wrote one viewer, showing frustration and disbelief at Pune’s traffic management failing despite its reputation for strong law enforcement.
“Car driver mistake. Should not stop in the middle of the road,” another user noted that the mistake was of the car driver. “Stopping in the moving road is not safe,” warned another commenter.
Yet another added question about the people’s ethics, “Those two people stopped the car for lift. The car got involved in an accident because it stopped to give a lift for these two people. The two people were unhurt. But zero courtesy to even check on the car driver. Just stood there. Ethics 👍😭”
The Pune viral video exposes urgent flaws in road rule enforcement. Citizens call for stricter penalties and better highway patrols. Authorities must act now to prevent future tragedies.
