MUMBAI experienced a hit-and-run incident on Tuesday, involving a speeding motorcyclist who crashed into a 15-year-old American schoolgirl and fled the scene. The incident took place in Juhu, where it is the second such occurrence in recent times for school students in the western suburbs. The teenager, who was en route home from her tuition, was struck around 8:15 am while crossing NS Road with a friend to collect her tiffin and head to school.
CCTV footage shows the two-wheeler hitting the girl, causing her to fall off and stumble home with her companion, who then took her to a private hospital. Doctors diagnosed her with a concussion, bruises on her leg, and an injured jaw. Her mother expressed deep concern as she could not recall the accident. Juhu Police have registered a case of rash driving and are currently searching for the motorcyclist.
Activists have raised awareness about the dangers posed by removed speedbreakers due to Metro construction work on the stretch, urging the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) to restore them.
