India: Two men were killed on the East Coast Road on Wednesday after they were thrown off their bike and came under the wheels of a state transport corporation bus.

The accident took place at 12.45pm and the whole sequence was recorded in a CCTV camera at a shop near the accident spot.

Police said Shajan, 20 and M Logesh, 20, who was riding pillion, were proceeding towards a crossing on the busy stretch when the accident occurred.

"Shajan, who was riding the bike, tried to avoid hitting another bike who suddenly came into their path. But he failed and both bikes collided," a senior officer said, based on witness accounts and the CCTV camera footage.

In the impact, they were thrown off their vehicle and came under the wheels of a Tamil Nadu State Transport Corporation (TNSTC) bus.

The other bikers also fell down but escaped with minor injuries, police said. Everything happened in a matter of a few seconds, witnesses later told police. Shajan was wearing a helmet, but the pillion roder was not wearing one police said.

Preliminary inquiries revealed that the riders of both bikes may have been at fault as they were proceeding in the wrong direction.

A few people present at the spot told police that Shajan was proceeding at great speed.

On receiving the information, a team of the Adyar traffic investigation wing rushed to the spot and sent the two bodies for postmortem to a government hospital.

A case was registered under Section 304 (A) (death caused due to negligent driving) of IPC.

The bus driver, who police identified as Ramesh, 55, will be arrested after detailed inquiry as per the procedure, said an investigation officer.

Witnesses told police that the driver of the bus, coming from Puducherry to Koyambedu, made a big effort to avoid hitting the two youths but failed.

Logesh was a second year visual communication student at a private arts and science college in the city, while Shajan worked as a house painter.

The bike belonged to Logesh, but Shajan was riding it. Logesh is survived by his mother and a younger sister, police said.

The only rule of the road there is to avoid running over bodies and debris... most fail at this!

I didn't see that coming ..you would think it's gonna be the ones that crashed first that was gonna get it .. then pow ..! Total twist in the plot ...

Why would the bus driver be arrested? He couldn't have avoided that unless he woulda had "spidey sense"!

[FunkPumpkin]

No way the bus driver could've avoided that. They should arrest the pricks who drifted lazily in front of the other bike carrying the Final Destination riders.

...The bus starts to drive off again at the end?

[PJB]

So everyone drives in the direction he likes and then wonders why he is dead? So many idiots in this video......

I wonder why the word "Camera" was switching between White text and Black

Think of the variables that had to perfectly align for this to happen. The paths of both the bikes had to come together right at that point in time, and the bus had to arrive at that spot at the same time. If the dead guys had set out that day a second or two later, they would still be alive.

So both sets of bikers were driving in the wrong way.
