New Delhi, June 1 -- A mother and son shared a sweet farewell in a parking lot, each heading off in their own vehicles. As they parted ways, the mother lovingly called out, "Ride safe!"-a classic gesture of care.

But just moments later, at a road intersection, irony struck. The son, riding his bike, slowed down-only to be rear-ended by none other than his own mother, who didn't realise he was right in front of her.

The comical family fender-bender was caught on video and is now going viral on social media, much to the Internet's amusement.

"I'm so sorry. Oh my god. Oh my god, Jacob," the mother reacted.

The viral video has since garnered over 4.6 million views and a slew of humorous comments.

Social media users were left in stitches ...
