Commuters on Bengaluru’s Summanahalli flyover were left stunned on Wednesday night after an SUV was seen speeding with sparks flying from beneath it, only for motorists to realise a Bullet motorcycle was stuck to its front. Despite being repeatedly alerted, the driver continued driving for nearly 500 metres, triggering panic on the busy stretch.
The SUV was finally stopped by angry commuters near the Nayandahalli junction and handed over the driver of the SUV to the police. A breath analyser test confirmed the driver, identified as Srinivas KV from Kunigal, Tumakuru district, was driving under the influence of alcohol. Police said he also hit another car and a bike while being chased.

According to the complaint, Srinivas rear-ended a Bullet ridden by Rohit S, throwing him onto the road. “I saw the SUV moving with my bike stuck in the front. It dragged the Bullet for around 500 metres,” Rohit told police. He fortunately escaped unhurt, but his motorcycle was stuck on the SUV, which was dragged further.
Srinivas reportedly admitted to drinking and claimed he panicked after the collision, saying he was unaware the motorcycle was lodged in his vehicle. Enraged members of the public allegedly assaulted him and damaged his SUV. Police have registered a case and are investigating the incident.
In another recent incident, a dramatic act of bravery by a California mother was caught on camera, where she rammed her luxury SUV into the getaway car of an alleged home invasion gang targeting her family. The woman was out grabbing coffee when she received a frantic call from her mother, who was at home with her grandchildren. Her mother informed her that masked men were attempting to break into the house.
Rushing back to the scene, the woman arrived just as three suspects were fleeing the property and getting into a white Honda, believed to be their getaway vehicle. In a moment of panic, she drove her $150,000 Mercedes G-Wagon directly into the Honda, rendering it unusable.
