Sydney ISKCON Rathayatra - Indian Ladies Head Run Over by Chariot - News

The woman from India was killed instantly when the wheels of the float ran over her head at the beginning of the festival this morning.

She stepped forward and didn't see that she was stepping into the path of one of the wheels in the chariot. So without knowing that, she got a foot caught and then she fell down and the wheel unfortunately ran up her and crushed her.
