A video of a hit and run has emerged on Wednesday. The incident took place in south India’s Coimbatore city located in the state of Tamil Nadu.

The accident involved a SUV and a two-wheeler. The incident was captured on CCTV cameras installed at the crash site.

According to the footage, a man riding a bike was seen stopping and casually taking a left turn. As he proceeded to take the turn, a white car comes and rams straight at him.

The biker is not only thrown off from the bike, but the impact of the hit flings him some 15 feet away.

The SUV is seen speeding off from the crash site.

The bike make was identified as a Royal Enfield, a sturdy two-wheeler. The car was a Honda Civic.

According to the footage, it is not clear if the rider was wearing a helmet or not.

The rider, who is yet to be identified, is said to be in a critical condition.

Bike accidents are very common in India. According to figures, around 15 lives are lost in the country every hour due to bike accidents. Most of these occur due to riders not wearing helmets.

However, one lucky soul cheated death twice in matter of seconds earlier this week in Maharashtra's Nagpur town.

The rider, who was hit by a car and then banged on the head by a falling lamp post, evaded a head injury as he was wearing a helmet.
