- 6 years ago
A foolhardy man on a motorbike was swept away when he attempted to cross a flooded drain in northern India in recent heavy rain.
Video of the incident, which took place on Monday (August 27) in the town of Ramnagar, a small town in the northern state of Uttarakhand, shows the man riding across the gushing stream of water but halfway across he loses his balance and is swept away.
The video shows the man, who suffered only minor injuries, able to get up and grab his bike, which was recovered thanks to the help of some local teenagers, who quickly rushed to his aid.
Torrential rain has led to floods in Uttarakhand and nearby areas of Uttar Pradesh, although Kerala was the area thought to be worst hit.
