Updated: 2019–04–22
AGRA: A 24-year-old Bharatpur resident had a narrow escape when his TVS bike caught fire while he was riding it towards Bradhwan area in Mathura on Monday.
The youth, Sanjay, was apparently unaware of the fire and was driving his bike at high speed. The fire was noticed by some residents who raised an alarm and alerted him. He quickly applied brakes and doused the fire with the help of local residents.
While the youth sustained no injuries, his bike was damaged to some extent. The incident occurred near Taiti village around 8am.
This is the second such incident in the past one week. A couple, who was riding on their bike along with their two children, were saved by the police when their vehicle caught fire on Express Highway on Etawah district in a similar fashion.
They too were not aware of the fire, till they were stopped by the police.
