On a busy street in Rishikesh, two bulls locked horns in a fierce battle. When a passerby attempted to break up the fight, one bull abruptly turned and bolted across the road, slamming directly into a woman riding a scooter.
The impact knocked the rider off balance, forcing her scooter into a parked cab on the opposite side. Instagram user Anshul captured the chaotic moment, and the video quickly spread across social platforms, raising concerns about road safety.
Viewers questioned the severity of the woman’s injuries and reiterated the importance of wearing a helmet while on two‑wheelers. Many noted that she was fortunate to escape more serious harm.
