In a freak accident, a 50-year-old woman and her son were killed after a speeding dumper truck rammed into them on a footpath in the MIDC area at JVLR in Mumbai on Friday afternoon.
Leaving six other people injured, the dumper also crushed 16 vehicles as the driver escaped from the spot after leaving the vehicle.
According to the police, the incident took place at around 1.30pm when the dumper was coming from the Powai area towards Jogeshwari. The driver lost control of his vehicle near MMRDA colony situated on JVLR in MIDC and rammed into auto rickshaws, tempos and other cars.
The dumper then rammed into the footpath and killed the mother-son duo who were having lunch after finishing their work. They died on the spot.
“The injured have been rushed to Cooper Hospital and Holly Sprit Hospital where they are recuperating. We have seized the dumper and are looking for the driver who is still absconding,” said police inspector Mohan Waghamare of the MIDC police station.
