In a freak road accident, a biker escaped miraculously after a rope from a truck carrying fertilisers entangled around his neck and threw him off the bike in Tamil Nadu's Thoothukudi district.
The bike rider was pulled down by a loosened rope which was binding gunny bags to the passing-by truck.

Local people rushed to the spot and took him to hospital. Muthu suffered minor injuries in the incident.
The CCTV footage from the nearby shop revealed that a rope harness tied over the truck cut off and got entangled around Muthu's neck throwing him off the bike.
