Woman killed after speeding car hits her in Mumbai | Mumbai News – Times of India



MUMBAI: A homemaker from Andheri (East) lost her life after a speeding car knocked and was dragged a few metres before the vehicle stopped, in Mumbai on Sunday.
The accident occurred when the victim, Bhagyashri Daripkar (52), was attempting to cross the Western Express Highway (WEH)in front of Saiprasad Hotel at Gundawali in Andheri East, at 7:30 pm, said the police.
Andheri police have registered a case against the unknown motorist who fled away after getting Daripkar admitted at a hospital. Police, according to the Eyewitnesses, said that Daripkar’s legs got trapped in the car’s wheel, resulting in her losing consciousness and sustaining head and ear injuries. “The car’s driver stopped to assist and, with the help of bystanders, rushed Daripkar to Trauma Care Hospital in Jogeshwari East. However, the driver later fled from the hospital, leaving no trace of their identity or vehicle information,” said a police officer of the Andheri police station.
The team is trying to get details about the motorist through the closed-circuit television (CCTV) outside the hospital locality and from the accident spot to track the accused driver. The incident was witnessed by a pedestrian identified as Abhishek Bait who called Daripkar’s nephew, Swapnil Yadav, and informed him about her critical condition.
In the complaint, Yadav said: “I rushed to the hospital where doctors recommended transferring my aunt to another hospital due to a shortage of available beds at the Trauma Care Hospital. My aunt was shifted to Nanavati Hospital where she succumbed at 9.50 pm while undergoing treatment. I learned about the accident when I received a call from a person who witnessed the accident.”
A case under the Indian Penal Code sections 279 (rash driving), 304 (A) (death by negligence) of the IPC Act, 134 (A) (criminal action for any injury or death), and 134 (B) (abetting an assault) of the Motor Vehicle Act has been filed against an unknown person.
