MUMBAI: A three-year-old girl was crushed to death under a private bus outside her shanty near Radhaswami Satsang Maidan in Bhayander (west) around 10am on Sunday. Akshta Singh, a kindergartener, was at the spot when the driver lost control of the vehicle and crashed into the hut, said the police.
The driver, Dhanuchitra Vishwas, was teaching his brother Sujit to drive when the
accident took place.
The two brothers have been arrested.
Eyewitnesses said that the driver, who was speeding, lost control at a bend, causing the bus to jump the divider and hit a stationary car. It plodded through tin sheets fencing the ground. Akshta, who was mowed down under the vehicle, died on the spot. The driver has been sent for a medical test to check if he was drunk at that time.
