  "account": "Ahmedabad: A 19-year-old first-year BSc student, Prerna Neenama, lost her life after being struck and run over by a pickup crane in the Gota area on Tuesday morning. The fatal incident, captured by CCTV footage, occurred just 200 meters from Silver Oak University where Prerna was headed to college. The victim was reportedly walking along the left side of the road at around 11:55 am when the incident unfolded. CCTV footage shows the pickup crane hitting the teenager before the vehicle ran over her before coming to a stop shortly after. The teenager sustained fatal injuries and passed away at the scene. The driver of the crane, Arun Nishad, reportedly abandoned the vehicle and fled the spot immediately after the crash. Police later arrested Nishad in connection with the unfortunate event. Local residents have expressed concerns over pedestrian safety on the stretch, alleging the road lacks a proper footpath. They questioned whether the absence of pedestrian infrastructure contributed to the accident and criticized the civic authorities for their responsibility in ensuring road safety.",
