Bhopal, Nov 15 (PTI) A 25-year-old woman journalist was crushed to death by a speeding dumper after falling off a bike taxi in Madhya Pradesh capital Bhopal on Sunday, police said.

    The accident took place around 8 am at Bhadbhada intersection under the Kamla Nagar police station limits, station in-charge Nirupa Pandey told PTI.

    Victim Sapna Kumari, who hailed from Bihar, worked with a private news channel in the city, she said.

    Sapna was travelling to her office on a bike taxi when another motorcycle rider suddenly cut in. This caused the bike taxi driver to lose balance, throwing her onto the road, Pandey said.

    A dumper coming from behind ran over her head, killing her at the scene, she added.

    Both motorcycle riders and the dumper driver fled the scene after the accident, the police officer said.
