As she reached the middle of the road, suddenly a white Toyota Corolla passed me accelerating at a speed of [70 kilometre per hour] to 80kph,” Baloch posted on the social media.

“Due to earphones, she couldn’t notice the horns and headed towards the service lane slowly. hen she noticed the car heading towards her, with no time to react, [she] got stunned in the middle of the road and stood straight in her place. On the other hand, the person driving the car made no effort to save that poor soul and ran over her. As soon as [he] ran over that woman, he did not stop for a second and ran away from the scene,” Baloch claimed.
