The incident occurred when her grandson, driving a Mahindra Thar, failed to put the handbrake, causing the vehicle to reverse suddenly and crush her.

Elderly Woman Crushed To Death By Thar In UP

CCTV footage of the incident shows a man parking his Thar as a woman opens the house gate to make way for the SUV. She stands outside, holding the gate as the vehicle rolls in, then walks up to close the left side of the gate, followed by the right.

Just as she was locking the gate, the Thar suddenly surged backwards, pushing her out and continuing to reverse until it crushed her against a wall. The woman can be heard screaming, clueless about what was happening to her.

Her grandson can be seen running out to help her, trying to stop the SUV. He calls his father, tries to open the car door before running inside the house to call for help. However, he could not stop the vehicle from repeatedly hitting the wall.

The elderly woman was rushed to a private hospital for treatment, where she was declared dead.
