MENDHAR, Sept 17: In a case of hit and run, a speeding Tata Sumo crushed the foot of an elderly woman in the town and disappeared despite being spotted by many here today.
The mishap took place at around 11.15 am near Hanuman Mandir in the town here. The 70-year-old- poor woman who is said to be dumb, used to stay in the Veranda of the shops. The vehicle immediately disappeared and nobody bothered to chase the vehicle or remove the bleeding and hapless woman to hospital. Some people later informed police but the injured kept lying there on the spot for several hours. Even the hospital authorities were informed to send an ambulance by locals but nobody responded.
In the afternoon, a few social activists, placed the ailing woman on a cycle-rikshaw, meant for carrying goods and shifted the injured lady to Mendhar Sub District Hospital. She was admitted there under MRD No. 7423. It was said that there were three ambulances in the SDH Mendhar but not even single one was available to shift the injured to hospital. There was strong resentment among the people and they lodged a complaint with the SDM Mendhar Ramesh Kumar (IAS) in this connection. The police has failed to trace the vehicle and arrest the driver so far. A Medico Legal Case has been registered in this connection.
