The menace of heavy vehicles on Pune roads is not ending. Even as the Traffic Police have banned heavy vehicles from plying on city roads during the day, these vehicles are seen violating the norms, leading to fatal accidents.

Now, months after a senior citizen was run over by a cement mixer on Karve Road, a young woman died on the spot after a mixer wheel ran over her head on Wednesday afternoon.

It should be noted that Karve Road is among many roads in the city where heavy vehicles are banned from playing in the daytime.
