A video of a truck ramming into a queue of vehicles on a road has been shared across social media platforms with the claim that the accident happened in Mysore Road, Kengeri. Alt News got requests to fact-check the video. A reverse-image search led to the same clip uploaded by Ruptly on June 17, 2020. The title said, “Russia: Fatal truck crash caught on CCTV in Chelyabinsk.” Hence, reports that it took place in Kengeri are false.
