14-year-old girl dies days after tree crashes onto autorickshaw in Mumbai’s Khar

A 14-year-old girl has reportedly died nearly a week after a tree collapsed onto an autorickshaw in Mumbai’s Khar, while another woman injured in the incident continues to battle for life in the ICU.

According to the report, the accident took place late on May 10 on Linking Road near Rajkumar Jewellers, when a tree reportedly fell from the compound of a nearby private property linked to Blue Stone Builder and crashed directly onto a moving autorickshaw.

The impact left two passengers critically injured. The victims were reportedly identified as Erica Shrivastav, 14, and Harshita Kumar, 21. Both were reportedly rushed to Hinduja Hospital in Khar for emergency treatment.

Hospital authorities confirmed on Saturday that Erica succumbed to her injuries after remaining under treatment for several days. Harshita Kumar remains admitted in the Intensive Care Unit and is reported to be in critical condition.
