Her injuries were so severe that she was immediately rushed to a nearby private hospital, where doctors pronounced her dead.

Earlier drivers of BRTS told The Tribune, "During last a few months, the number of vehicles increased in the BRTS lane. It often disrupts the service. We face traffic jams in the lane reserved for BRTS. It also leads to accidents. Sometimes, cyclists or rickshaws enter the lane because of which they have to slow down the buses. Because of this, they fail to maintain their schedule."
