Mumbai: In a tragic incident, a 16-year-old boy hit an elderly couple from Eco car, killing one and injuring another.

After the two were taken to the nearby hospital, the wife, identified as, Surekha Kadam, 56, was declared dead on spot while her husband, Satyavan, is currently admitted and sustained serious injuries.
