According to the news portal, after filling the truck with sand, the driver of the truck was negotiating a sharp bend on his way from the site when the car lost its balance and fell on a detached, wooden makeshift structure located close to the road, which served as the kitchen for the victim.

The kitchen was flattened so badly as a result, leaving the victim trapped to death under the tipper truck.

Her body was later retrieved from under the truck by the Police and deposited at the morgue for autopsy, while the abandoned vehicle was towed from the scene to the Senchi Police Station.
