FACT CHECK
NewsMobile fact-checked the viral post, and found it to be misleading.
Running a Reverse Image Search of the video keyframes, we spotted a news report titled: Video: Chased By Stray Dogs, Odisha Woman Rams Scooter Into Parked Car, NDTV, dated April 4, 2023.
The video in the news report matches exactly with the viral clip and the description below the video informs that the incident happened in Berhampur, Odisha, when a woman lost control of her two-wheeler after being chased by stray dogs.
We found the same news published on the websites of other media houses like Hindustan Times and Indian Express as well. Here too, the location was said to be Berhampur, Odisha, not Jammu.
The same video had been tweeted by PTI and ANI on their official handles, on April 3 and April 4, respectively. Here too, we find out that the incident took place in Berhampur, Odisha. The caption further tells us that all the passengers on the vehicle sustained multiple injuries in the accident.
Therefore, we can conclusively say that the viral video, claiming a woman crashed her two-wheeler into a parked car in Jammu, is misleading.
