Despite her repeated requests to slow down, the driver continued to drive recklessly. As they reached Sewadham Road, he suddenly swerved, causing the e-rickshaw to overturn.Everyone fell onto the road, and the girl’s neck got trapped under the vehicle. She sustained critical injuries, with blood coming from her nose, mouth, and head. The mother alleged that the driver ignored multiple warnings to slow down.
