A bizarre incident from Kerala has taken the internet by storm after a video surfaced showing an auto-rickshaw driver dramatically crashing into a Bharat Petroleum petrol pump. The footage, which quickly went viral, left netizens both amused and bewildered.
In the video, the black-and-yellow auto can be seen entering the fuel station before suddenly accelerating and ramming into the pump.
The impact, however, seemed more comical than destructive, as the driver himself fell off his seat while the petrol pump remained largely unharmed. Despite the dramatic entry, the damage appeared minimal, and no serious injuries were reported. The reason behind the reckless stunt remains unclear.
Some speculate it could have been brake failure, an act of rage, or even a failed viral stunt. Whatever the intent, the online reactions have been nothing short of hilarious. Many users compared the driver to an excavator operator, joking that he must have mistaken his auto-rickshaw for a JCB.
One user quipped, “Blud thought he was driving a JCB,” while another joked, “Thought he was a JCB, in reality, he was an RCB.”
While the incident may have provided comic relief, reckless driving at a fuel station is no laughing matter.
Authorities have yet to release an official statement, but this video serves as a reminder that such stunts, intentional or not, can have serious consequences.
