A woman biker has alleged that a car hit her motorcycle on Gurugram’s Golf Course Road, knocking her onto the road and dragging her bike for several metres before allegedly fleeing the spot.
The incident took place on Sunday when the biker, identified as Sia, was riding her Aprilia RS 457 sports bike with a group of bikers. The collision was captured on an action camera mounted on her motorcycle.

According to Sia, the car collided with her bike while she was riding along Golf Course Road. The impact caused her to fall onto the road, leaving her injured. Her motorcycle was allegedly dragged for several metres in the collision.
Sia claimed that the occupants of the car did not stop after the crash and instead drove away from the spot.
One of her friends then reportedly chased the vehicle and managed to catch up with it at a traffic signal. The friend confronted the driver and allegedly told him that he had hit Sia and asked him to stop.
However, Sia claimed that the driver denied being responsible for the collision and then drove away from the traffic signal.
The entire sequence was recorded by the action camera fitted to Sia’s motorcycle. She later shared the footage and details of the alleged hit-and-run on her Instagram account.
In her account, Sia also alleged that the occupants of the car had been following her group from the beginning of their ride. She claimed that they appeared to be intoxicated and that their behaviour raised concerns among the bikers.
Sia said she had asked the occupants to maintain a safe distance from her motorcycle. According to her, the occupants allegedly asked her to stop instead.
The alleged collision occurred later, after which Sia was thrown from her bike.
The footage shared by Sia has since drawn attention online, particularly because it appears to show the aftermath of the collision and the damaged motorcycle. Police have begun verifying the incident and the claims made by the biker.
Road-safety experts say incidents involving motorcycles and larger vehicles can have serious consequences because riders have little physical protection in a collision. They advise motorists to maintain adequate distance from two-wheelers and avoid aggressive manoeuvres.
Experts also stress that drivers involved in a road accident should stop, check whether anyone has been injured and cooperate with the authorities. Leaving the scene can make it more difficult to establish what happened and may have additional legal consequences depending on the circumstances.
Action-camera footage could prove useful to investigators in reconstructing the sequence of events. However, the video and allegations will need to be verified before responsibility for the crash is established.
The incident has renewed concerns over road safety in Gurugram, particularly for bikers navigating busy stretches such as Golf Course Road.
