The person who recorded the clip claimed that the occupants of the vehicle were on their way to a party when the incident happened.
He said, “The person who drove the car is a learner. The owner of the car gave it to his friend that was a learner. They were high and going for a party, and while driving carelessly, the driver left the road and bumped into the pedestrian bridge and it went up like that.
“It was not up to two minutes that I left the spot that this incident happened and the sound I heard was not a normal sound and when I got back, I saw what happened, with head scattered on the floor.”
