In a freak accident, a woman college professor died in Karauli district when she lost control of her scooter after colliding with the open door of a parked car on the roadside, and was run over by an incoming truck from behind, police said on Thursday.

Diksha (35) was an assistant professor at Karauli Medical College. The accident occurred near the Collectorate on Wednesday night when she was returning from college.

Police said the car driver opened the door just when she was passing by, and the truck was right behind her. She collided with the door, lost her balance and fell under the rear wheels of the passing truck.

The injuries were fatal, police said, adding that the incident had been captured on CCTV.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
