Viral Video: Truck Hits UP Man Sitting on Plastic Chair in Busy Road

A man from Uttar Pradesh, who was sitting on a plastic chair in the middle of a busy road, escaped unharmed after being struck by a truck in Pratapgarh, according to local police. A video that has gone viral on the social media platform X shows the man, dressed only in black shorts, sitting nonchalantly as traffic zooms past him.

As the crowd jeered, a truck approached from behind. The man, distracted by the onlookers, turned to face them just as the truck collided with the side of his chair, causing him to fall to the ground. Despite the impact, the man appeared to be uninjured, lying on the road in shock while observing his surroundings. Onlookers, rather than expressing concern, urged the truck driver to continue driving and not stop, treating the incident as a mere spectacle. One person can be heard in the video commenting, "Brother, this was really nice."

Local authorities have since addressed the viral video, confirming that the man is mentally ill and has been returned to his family. The police are also in the process of identifying the truck involved and will take appropriate legal action.

“The Kotwali nagar police station has conducted an immediate investigation and informed the man's family of his condition. He has been returned to them. We are working on identifying the truck involved in the incident and will pursue further legal proceedings,” the Pratapgarh police stated in a post on X.
