A woman and her 26-year-old daughter who were out on a morning walk were run over by a speeding car on the Hydershakote road of Bandlaguda Jagir in Narsingi police limits on Tuesday.

Two other walkers in the same group, Malavika and Inthaab Khan, who suffered severe injuries were admitted to a nearby hospital for emergency treatment. They were said to be stable and out of danger.
The accident took place around 6 a.m., a little after the duo left home for the walk. Family members, who spoke to media persons, shared the CCTV visuals of them leaving the house for the last time.
