Looks as if the trailing TT skidded while applying the breaks to avoid the three wheeler at the start of the video. The result was a pit manoeuvre to the one in front. The three wheeler definately moved to end of the road seeing the TT coming towards him.

I'm willing to bet that the overtaking TT's tyres were bald to the core. Even though the road was wet, it doesn't look super wet to cause this huge uncontrollable skid.

It appears, at least to some extent, here is a photo.
Local newspapers reported that these two buses were competing with each other to reach the next bus stop first to get the waiting passengers :deadhorse
We've seen some moribund accidents over the last couple of weeks sadly.
Here is an accident that could have been ghastly and probably with multiple casualties, but it turned out to be a near-miss thanks to a tree.

Caught an auto rickshaw rollover in Gurgaon on the Dashcam. The Innova supposedly hit the auto when it suddenly came in front of it causing the accident. The driver cut his forehead and hands badly while the lady and another man had a few bumps and bruises.
What was commendable was that cops arrived within 2 mins.

That bus driver should never be allowed to touch the steering wheel of another vehicle again.
The car turning into the petrol station had the blinkers on and was yielding to the oncoming traffic. The car following this car was slowing down seeing the car ahead but the bus driver was attempting a reckless overtake of both these cars on a busy road. These drivers should be prosecuted and their licenses revoked.
Happened infront of DLF Cyber City building near Infocity, Bhubaneswar. I clicked these after 4 hours of the accident, so got no accurate details from bystanders. Really strange how this Swift Dzire could turn turtle! No metal scratches or tyre skid marks on the road, neither does it look like jumped divider.
This was in Mandya today. Close call for me missed the Activa by inches.
Kuv was a self-drive, had cut me off a couple of times a few minutes before this happened. The rider was ok with minor bruises but the impact on the head was quite heavy, no helmet again.

It looks like Innova went straight and hit the auto. Does not look like auto caused the accident.

Guys, have the 'A' pillars caved in? I am unable to understand from this picture.

Yes, the passenger side A pillar and cabin was completely caved in. Driver side was in better shape though
Unless there is some kind of internal roll bar protection, I don't see a couple of inches of sheet metal supporting the weight of an upside-down car.

This is 100% negligence from the KUV driver. Doesnt the moron undertand its dangerous to overtake like this, from the left and when there is another car ahead which is being overtaken by a bike. You really should hand over this footage to the police, if not already.

While I agree that KUV driver is reckless, impatient and is the prime reason for this accident, the car that was parked on the left side of the road had a part to play too.
It was not completely on the side of the road, but a part of the car was taking up the left lane. Even without the Activa, the KUV should have proceeded with caution.
As a defensive rider, I always overtake parked cars giving one door space as buffer in case an idiot opens the door without seeing the traffic behind.
If the Activa rider had followed this precaution, KUV driver would not even have had a chance to overtake.
