Reports suggest that, at the time of the incident, the woman was returning from a clinic with her 12-year-old daughter when the speeding car hit their scooter. The collision was so severe that both the woman and her daughter were thrown approximately 30 feet from the impact site.
Witnesses immediately rushed the victims to the hospital. According to reports, there were two minor boys and two girls — all believed to be students who had skipped school — inside the car. The teens were reportedly doing reckless driving and stunts, having removed their school uniforms and changed into casual clothes, which were later found inside the vehicle.
The witnesses stated that the car was travelling at around 100 km/h when it crashed into the scooter. Following the accident, the police were alerted and arrived at the scene, taking the driver and the other occupants into custody.
Investigations underway
Despite wearing a helmet, the woman suffered fatal head injuries due to the collision. Her daughter sustained multiple fractures. The Kidwai Nagar police inspector confirmed that the underage driver has been apprehended and charged. He does not possess a driving license, and an official case has been filed with further investigations underway.
