Pune:In a shocking incident in Pune's Wanwadi area, a 14-year-old boy driving a tanker collided with a two-wheeler, severely injuring a woman. The accident occurred early this morning when a group of girls and one woman were out for exercise on their bikes.

According to witnesses, the minor boy was driving the tanker at high speed when he rammed into the two-wheeler from behind. The impact caused the woman to fall under the tanker, resulting in major injuries. Several girls were also struck by the tanker, though their injuries were less severe.
