“She was pronounced dead at 10pm at the hospital on the same day,” he said in a statement.
The case is being investigated under Section 41(1) of the Road Transport Act 1987.
What a heartbreaking tragedy. To think that she hadn’t even started her business that she must have been looking forward to yet. We hope that her family will be able to stay strong in this dark time.
