Bengaluru Rapido Rider Crashes Into Car, Flees With Passenger On Bike
A Bengaluru Rapido bike ride turned dangerous when the rider crashed into a stationary car at a red light and then fled with the passenger still on the bike. Despite the passenger's repeated requests to stop, the rider continued for about 1 to 1.5 km while being chased by the car owner. The passenger sustained an ankle injury during the crash. After stopping in a narrow alley, the rider left abruptly, and the passenger's attempts to seek help from Rapido customer care reportedly yielded little assistance.
