An 18-year-old Indian-American student has been run over by a pick-up truck driver in a road rage incident in New York.
According to , Taranjit Parmar had a minor collision with the driver on Hempstead Turnpike in Levittown on Thursday when she was returning home. Police said that both the girl and the truck driver parked their vehicles near a gas station after the accident. However, as soon as Taranjit got out of her vehicle to inspect the damage, the pick-up truck took off running over Taranjit.
It is believed that Taranjit Parmar was talking to her mother on the phone when she was run over.
“She had called my wife and said, ‘Hi, Mom,’” Parmar’s father, Ranjit Parmar said. “Then she said ‘Oh, no, Stop!’ and the call got disconnected. There was no answer after that,” he added.
She was rushed to Nassau University Medical Canter but did not survive due to serious head and chest injuries.
Taranjit Parmar was studying to become a dentist at Adelphi University.
