The 28-year-old woman identified as Jeyabarath, was on her way back from work on a two-wheeler when a mini truck that was coming from the opposite direction hit her at the Kadavaiyaru Bridge, the report said.

After hitting the woman, the culprits fled from the spot. The woman was left bleeding on the road. However, some passersby spotted her and immediately rushed her to the government hospital where she succumbed to her injuries.
