Pune Horror: Municipality’s Unmanned Truck Caught Speeding in Reverse
A big accident was almost avoided in Hadapsar, Pune, when a driverless pick-up vehicle from Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) was seen speeding in reverse gear. This scary moment was caught on camera and has now gone viral on social media.
People who saw the scene described how the truck, without a driver, was moving backward very fast, putting pedestrians and other vehicles in danger. Bystanders were shouting and trying to warn others, adding to the confusion.
Local authorities are investigating how the vehicle was left unattended and why it moved in reverse. Early reports suggest that a problem with the truck’s brakes or a mechanical issue might be the cause.
Residents and road safety advocates are shocked and have urged the PMC to enforce stricter safety rules for their vehicles. “This incident shows the need for regular checks and maintenance of municipal vehicles to avoid such dangerous situations,” said a local safety expert.
The PMC has promised to take this matter seriously and will take steps to prevent such incidents in the future. They have also asked anyone with more information or footage to help with the investigation.
This near-miss is a strong reminder of the importance of being careful and safe on the roads for everyone. The community is encouraged to stay alert and report any dangerous activities immediately.
Stay safe, Pune!
