Near a petrol pump close to Papya Nursery on Trimbak Road, a speeding private university bus (MH 15 HN 6071) rammed into their two-wheeler from behind.

She was crushed by the bus's front and rear wheels, sustaining severe injuries to her head and body. Local residents and her husband rushed her to the District Hospital, but doctors declared her dead on arrival.
