Woman dies after ‘speeding’ car rams scooty; husband, child injured

A 40-year-old woman was killed and her husband and child injured after the scooty on which they were travelling was allegedly hit by a speeding car near Gota area of Ahmedabad Sunday night. The driver of the vehicle has been detained, police said.

The deceased was identified as Nita Prajapati, a resident of Chandkheda. She, along with her husband and eight-year-old son, were travelling from Ghatlodia to their shop in Chandkheda when the “speeding” four-wheeler rammed the scooty’s rear-end, police said.

“We have used a breath analyser (on the driver of the four-wheeler) but it didn’t have anything. We have taken his blood samples and sent them for further analysis. The driver is in police custody right now. The husband and the child are out of danger,” said Ashok Rathva, Assistant Commissioner of Police (Traffic B-Division).
