A teenager named Prerna was hit by a pickup crane while walking to college, according to NDTV. The incident occurred when she was about 200 metres from the college, the report said. The pickup crane allegedly struck her while being driven recklessly and then ran over her.

The driver is alleged to have fled the scene after the collision. The supplied material does not identify the location of the incident, the date or the vehicle’s registration details. It also does not provide information about Prerna’s injuries, whether she received medical treatment or whether anyone witnessed the crash.

No details are given about the driver’s identity. The report does not say whether police have registered a case, begun a search or made an arrest. The account therefore establishes the reported sequence of events only as an allegation, pending further information or an official investigation.
