Kerala Woman, On Scooty, Knocked Down In Shocking Wild Boar Road Crash
Last Updated:
A woman in Thiruvananthapuram was seriously injured after a herd of wild boars collided with her two-wheeler, an incident caught on CCTV.
A woman riding her two-wheeler was seriously injured after a herd of wild boars ran into her while crossing the road. The incident took place on August 8, around 3 PM, and was caught on CCTV. The injured woman, identified as Nisa from Peringammala, was rushed to the nearby medical college for treatment.
According to The Free Press Journal, Nisa was on her way home along a relatively quiet stretch of road in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, when several wild boars suddenly appeared. One large boar collided directly with her bike, causing her to lose control. The vehicle skidded ahead while she fell hard on the road.
Although she was wearing a helmet, it may not have been properly strapped, as it flew off during the crash. CCTV footage shows her lying motionless after the fall. A man quickly ran to her aid, calling others for help.
Soon, more villagers gathered at the spot, and an auto driver stopped to assist in getting her to medical care.
The impact left her with severe injuries, and she remains under treatment, The Free Press Journal states. Authorities have yet to comment on the presence of wild boars in the area, but such encounters have become increasingly common in recent months.
Other Wild Animal Incidents
This is not the first time such an incident has occurred. On August 1, a 70-year-old woman named K. Chellammal from Jackanarai, near Kotagiri in Tamil Nadu, was killed after being attacked by a wild boar. She was walking along a bridle path when the animal charged at her, injuring her thigh severely. She was taken to the government hospital in Kotagiri, but died from her injuries the next day, as per The Hindu.
Following the postmortem, the Forest Department confirmed the cause of death and granted her family Rs 50,000 as interim compensation.
In another strange case caught on CCTV, a stray dog bit a cow's leg, causing it to run off. Moments later, a man described as a 'cow-lover" attacked the dog, leaving it unconscious.
A dog bites a cow, cow lover knocks it out, dog lover argues, dog wakes up and bites the dog lover. Street drama at its finest.😬☠️🫠 — Bulla👺 (@Bulla724) August 9, 2025
The video also showed a few people who identified themselves as both 'dog-lovers" and 'cow-lovers" present at the scene.
These back-to-back incidents highlight ongoing concerns about the growing number of human–animal conflicts in the country.
