Stunt riding, or “wheeling,” poses significant risks not only to the riders but also to other road users. The practice often involves high-speed maneuvers and dangerous tricks, which can lead to severe accidents and injuries. The incident underscores the urgent need for stricter enforcement of traffic laws and greater public awareness to prevent such dangerous behaviors.

Authorities are urging citizens to report any reckless riding and are working to implement measures to enhance road safety, aiming to prevent similar incidents in the future.
