Maharashtra girl clings to truck bumper after scooter hit
A girl riding a scooter in Maharashtra narrowly escaped being crushed under a speeding sand-laden truck after she grabbed its front bumper on a bend. The incident took place on Belapur Road in Shrirampur on 10 October, according to CCTV footage cited by India Today, NDTV and Times Now.

The footage has drawn attention to the dangers posed by speeding heavy vehicles on bends where visibility is limited and reaction time is short.
