Tragedy has once again struck the Indian community with another heartbreaking news. A 21 year old girl from Kerala has been killed by a speeding car which lost control and ran over her while she was waiting for roadside assistance following the breakdown of her car due to flat tyre.

The unfortunate incident happened last Thursday when the victim identified as Nafia Balkies Hameed, who hailed from Thodupuzha in Kerala, was driving to university when her car suffered a flat tyre on a busy roadway.

The young architecture student got down of the car and waited for roadside assistance to get the repair done. Just minutes later, when her father tried calling her, she didn’t answer him.

Tragically, while standing near her car on Al Khawaneej Street in the Al Rashidiya area, a speeding vehicle lost control and struck her. The impact was severe and she suffered fatal injuries right at the scene. She was declared dead at the hospital.

Local police later contacted the shocked family to inform the devastating news of the sudden accident. The young student had just returned to Dubai from Kerala with her mother so she would not miss her university classes.

After completing all necessary formalities, her mortal remains were sent back to India for final rites.
