The brain is a very sensitive organ of the body and consequently susceptible to trauma as in cases of road accidents. The authors present a unique case where a woman travelling as a pillion rider on a motorcycle succumbed to cerebral injury. The incident occurred when one end of her long scarf or dupatta got entrapped in the rear wheel of the vehicle and she fell on the road and sustained injuries. This article illustrates the seriousness of wearing loose clothing while riding two wheelers and endangering of lives. In addition, the authors suggest suitable remedial measures to address the ignored aspects of road safety and their importance in preventing morbidity and mortality in developing countries.
