A man attempting to ride his bike across a water‑logged road in Rajasthan was nearly carried away by the floodwaters, officials said.
A resident of Rajasthan tried to cross a road that had become inundated after heavy rains, riding his motorcycle through the rising water. According to local authorities, the floodwaters were strong enough to pull the bike and its rider downstream, forcing a near‑miss that could have turned fatal.
The incident occurred as monsoon showers intensified across the state, causing several low‑lying routes to flood. Emergency services were alerted when the man struggled against the current, and they arrived promptly to assist him to safety.
Officials have warned motorists to avoid flooded stretches and to seek alternative routes until water levels recede. They emphasized that even shallow water can be deceptive, urging the public to prioritize safety over speed during the ongoing rains.
