A shocking hit-and-run incident in Uttar Pradesh's Fatehpur district has sparked outrage after CCTV footage captured a pickup truck driver fleeing the scene after seriously injuring two motorcyclists on Wednesday.
The dramatic collision occurred near Satmeel in the Husainganj area when a speeding pickup truck slammed into a motorbike that was emerging from a narrow village lane onto the main road. The entire incident was recorded by a nearby CCTV camera, providing clear evidence of what transpired.

The footage shows the motorbike attempting to join the main road when it was struck by the pickup van approaching from the right side. The impact was severe enough to damage the motorbike completely and leave both riders with serious injuries sprawled on the road.
What has particularly angered local residents and authorities is the pickup driver's callous response to the accident. Rather than stopping to help the injured victims or taking responsibility for the collision, the driver immediately fled the scene, leaving the two motorcyclists bleeding on the road.
