In a tragic accident, a 10-year-old girl was run over by a speeding water tanker in Kovilambakkam, after she accidentally fell from a two-wheeler being driven by her mother, on Monday.
The child, Leora Sri, was living with her mother Keerthi, in Kovilambakkam, while her father worked in Germany. On Monday morning, mother and daughter were proceeding to Madipakkam where Leora’s school is located. Police said Keerthi lost control of her vehicle due to heavy traffic and the bumpy road.
