A 38-year-old woman was killed and four others were injured on Thursday after the autorickshaw they were travelling in was hit by a goods carrier and toppled.
The deceased has been identified as Lakshmi, a native of Tamil Nadu.
She and three of her family members arrived at the Cantonment railway station to attend a relative’s funeral in Ulsoor around 3 a.m., and boarded an autorickshaw.
While on their way to Ulsoor, the three-wheeler was hit by a goods carrier, and toppled.
The occupants were taken to Bowring Hospital. Lakshmi, who was sitting at one end of the seat, was declared brought dead.
The Shivajinagar traffic police have registered a hit-and-run case.
