Indian businessman Anand Mahindra recently retweeted a video of a Mahindra Bolero ramming into an out-of-control JCB and saving the life of a motorcyclist. In the short clip, one can see a biker waiting at the side of a road when a JCB excavator behind him lost control and headed straight into his direction. While the rattled biker can be seen trying to run away, a speeding Bolero is then seen emerging from the other side of the road and ramming straight into the JCB excavator. 

The video captured the narrow escape of the biker and it also captured how the SUV changed the direction of the JCB. According to reports, the incident occurred near Thodukappu on the Kozhikode-Palakkad national highway last week. The motorcyclist reportedly sustained only minor scratches and the occupants of the Bolero were also unhurt.
