Farmer leader Rakesh Tikait survived a car crash on Friday when an animal jumped in front of his vehicle, damaging its front, in Uttar Pradesh.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Mr Tikait’s car was crossing Muzaffarpur Mirapur Bypass in UP when a Nilgai, also known as blue bull, appeared from nowhere and rammed the vehicle. Upon impact, the airbags broke open, saving the passengers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
“It happened around 7:20 pm. A nilgai rammed the car. At the time we did not understand anything. It happened in a flash. We saw that the airbags had enveloped us,” said the Bharatiya Kisan Union leader, the face of farmer protests, who escaped without any injury.<\/p>\n
Mr Tikait also underlined the importance of seatbelts and safe driving.<\/p>\n
“Everyone should wear a seat belt. We should always wear a seatbelt. While driving, the speed of vehicle should be less than 100,” said Mr Tikait.<\/p>\n
