The 36-year-old shopkeeper had little time to react as the creature charged across the road.
He lost control of his motorbike and suffered severe head injuries in the crash.
Tragically, Pravinbhai died at the scene despite witnesses nearby rushing to help.
The terrifying collision was captured by a CCTV camera overlooking the road, with the entire incident unfolding in just four seconds.
Footage of the fatal crash has since gone viral on social media, bringing renewed attention to the dangers posed by animals wandering onto roads.
The accident reportedly happened last Sunday (8 November) near Mandal village in Gujarat, India, as reported by Need To Know.
Road accidents involving wild animals, including wild boars and nilgai – large antelope native to the Indian subcontinent – have reportedly been a recurring problem in the Rajula-Jafrabad area.
Their sudden appearance leaves drivers with little time to brake or swerve, with motorcyclists particularly vulnerable to serious injuries.
The tragedy has renewed calls for better road safety measures in rural parts of the Amreli district.
