A tragic road collision claimed the life of a pedestrian woman in the Munger district of Bihar on Wednesday evening when a speeding two-wheeler lost control. The fatal incident took place on the runway premises of the Safiabad airstrip, which falls under the jurisdiction of the Kasim Bazar police station. Four minors were riding together on a single scooter at high speed when the vehicle abruptly went out of control and slammed directly into a woman taking her regular evening walk. The impact triggered panic across the area, leaving two minors riding the two-wheeler injured as well.
Fatal Collision During Evening Routine
The deceased pedestrian was identified as Aashra Devi, a resident of Begumpur Vidwara. Like every other day, she had gone for her routine evening walk near the runway stretch of the Safiabad airstrip on Wednesday. While she was walking, the recklessly driven scooter struck her with tremendous force, throwing her onto the ground. The collision left her with critical traumatic injuries. Onlookers and nearby locals rushed to her aid and immediately transported her to the Munger Emergency Hospital, but attending medical personnel pronounced her dead on arrival.
Dial 112 Police Team Responded Immediately
Upon receiving distress alerts regarding the crash, the Dial 112 emergency police patrol promptly arrived at the runway location. The officers took charge of the scene and shifted the two injured minors to the Sadar Hospital for medical treatment. Law enforcement personnel confirmed that four minors were riding the scooter at the moment of the crash. The police have launched an investigation into the matter, gathering details regarding the exact ages of all four juveniles, the ownership of the vehicle, and the chain of events that led to the fatal mishap.
Vehicle Taken Without Parental Supervision
According to family members, the mother of the minor who was driving the scooter has been unwell and is undergoing medical treatment in Bhagalpur. On Wednesday morning, his father, Rajiv Ranjan, had left for Bhagalpur to attend to his ailing wife in the hospital. Taking advantage of his father's absence from home, the minor took out the family scooter. He picked up his four companions and drove toward the airstrip area. It was during their return journey that the two-wheeler spun out of control and struck Aashra Devi on her evening walk.
Sole Breadwinner Sustained Family Through Domestic Work
The untimely demise has left the victim's household completely shattered. Aashra Devi had lost her husband earlier, leaving her as the sole provider for her family. To sustain her household and support her dependents, she worked long hours doing domestic chores and utensil cleaning in neighboring houses. The sudden death of the family's only earning member has plunged her dependents into grief and left the local neighborhood in deep shock.
