On Video, Biker Falls Off Flooded Road In Madhya Pradesh; Survives

A man on his bike falls off a flooded road in Madhya Pradesh's Khargone area on Wednesday. Some local people got him out of the drain that flows alongside the road.

The incident, filmed by passersby on mobile phone, shows the biker losing control after being swept off by the fast flowing water. Others are seen cautiously maneuvering through the muddy waters.

Heavy rain in parts of Madhya Pradesh has led to water-logging and hours-long traffic jams in several areas.
