Police trying to trace merciless driver, who escaped from the spot after
hurling senior citizen a long distance.
A 95-year-old died yesterday
after a speeding Honda City rammed into her and the driver fled from the scene.
The police have registered a case against the unidentified driver. The deceased
has been identified as Shantabai Joshi alias Chandamani from MG Road in Mulund
(West).
According to the police,
Joshi lived alone and had trouble walking. But, her daily morning ritual
included heading out to 5 Road Junction in Mulund to have a cup of tea.
"Early on Wednesday, she
was standing at the junction, when a Honda City rammed into her. Due to the
impact, Joshi was flung a fair distance. The driver of the vehicle did not get
out of the car, and instead, escaped from the scene," an officer from the
Mulund police station said.
Bystanders
rushed to help Joshi, who was seriously injured. She was taken to MT Agrawal
Municipal General Hospital in Mulund, but was declared dead on arrival. Her
body was later sent to Rajawadi Hospital for a post-mortem examination. No
relative has come forward to claim her body.
The
Mulund police have registered a case and are looking for CCTV footage.
