The cause of the accident is currently under investigation, and it is unclear whether the driver of the truck will face charges. This tragic incident serves as a reminder of the dangers of driving on the road, and the importance of always being alert and cautious behind the wheel. 

This incident comes days after the horrific case of a 20-year-old woman Anjali who was killed after a car hit her scooter and dragged her under the vehicle for around 12 kilometres. 

The autopsy report further said that Anjali`s back scraped off so badly as she held on to the car`s axle and was dragged along that her ribs showed. The 20-year-old was killed in the early hours of the New Year after her scooter was hit by a car driven by five men and she was reportedly dragged for 13 kilometres under the vehicle in outer Delhi`s Sultanpuri.
