A biker was accidentally set on fire when he was sprayed with sanitizer at a drive-through coronavirus check point in India.
Footage shows a man pulling up in front of two government workers at a complex in Ahmedabad, Gujarat to be sprayed with disinfectant to remove traces of the coronavirus from his motorcycle.
Just seconds after the workers spray the back of his bike erupts into a ball of bright orange flames.
The shocked rider hops off his motorbike and dumps it in the road and runs away.
The quick thinking workers at the Arvind Mill complex leaped into action, pulling the sanitiser away from the blaze.
A source said: ‘Another worker is seen immediately pulling the bike away in order to prevent it from getting damaged further.
‘One of the workers is then seen running to grab a fire extinguisher and then comes and tries to spray it on the fire.
‘Unable to make it operational, he grabs a bottle of water and pours on the fire in a bid to douse it.’
A single cough can disperse 3,000 droplets of the deadly virus, which can remain on metallic surfaces for two to three days. In badly-hit areas, government officials have ordered workers to disinfect vehicles.
