CHENNAI: A 53-year-old woman drawing a Kolam outside her house on Gangai Amman Temple Street in Kancheepuram was killed after she was run over by a van early Sunday morning.
Police have booked a case of negligent driving against a 17-year-old boy, who was behind the wheel. Sivakanchi police said the accused is a Class 12 student. His father, Raja, uses a van to deliver wholesale snacks in the town. On Sunday, Raja's son had tried to operate the van and lost control when he started the vehicle and shifted gears.
In a panic, instead of pressing the brakes, he slammed the accelerator and ran over his neighbour Saraswathi. Onlookers moved her to the Kancheepuram GH where doctors declared her dead upon arrival.
