Bhiwandi Couple Escapes Injury After Tree Falls on Moving Bike
A man and a woman were riding a motorcycle in a town called Bhiwandi.
Suddenly, a big tree fell down right onto their moving bike.
The rider quickly moved the motorcycle to the other side of the road.
Luckily, the couple was not badly hurt, but the front part of the bike was damaged.
The fallen tree blocked the road that goes towards the city of Nashik.
Many cars and other vehicles had to stop, and a long traffic jam formed.
People living nearby came to help pull the motorcycle out from under the tree.
A big machine called a JCB was brought in to lift and remove the tree.
Once the tree was cleared, the road opened again and traffic started moving.
People are now worried that other trees along the road might also be unsafe, especially during the rainy season when strong winds can make trees fall.
A couple riding a Unicorn motorcycle narrowly escaped injury when a roadside tree collapsed onto their moving bike near Garden Tandoor on the Bhiwandi-Wadpa Road.
The couple were travelling from Chavindra towards Pogaon on Friday when the fully grown green tree suddenly fell on the road without warning.
The rider steered the motorcycle towards the other side of the road, and the couple escaped without serious injuries, though the tree damaged the bike's front portion.
The fallen tree blocked the carriageway towards Nashik, forcing vehicles to stop and causing a traffic queue on the busy route.
Local residents helped pull the damaged motorcycle out and a JCB cleared the tree, restoring traffic; the incident raised concerns about roadside tree safety during the monsoon.
