GANGTOK, 28 Nov: A minor girl was crushed to death this afternoon when a “pick-up” truck ran her over at Tibet Road here. The vehicle, a “407 truck”, on its way to deliver a consignment of cement at Tathangchen, crushed the class-II student of West Point Senior Secondary School, Man Maya Biswakarma, at around 3:30 p.m.
The driver has been taken into custody and booked under sections 279 [Rash driving] and 304 A [Causing death by negligence] of the Indian Penal Code. The accident occurred near BL House. The victim was walking home to Arithang from school at the time.
It is informed that the driver, Pradeep Tamang, rushed the victim immediately to the STNM Hospital, but she succumbed to her injuries later in the evening.
Although details of how the accident took place are not yet ascertained, the driver is reported to have told the police that he ran over the girl when he was blindsided while trying to avoid a rough patch on the road.
