A 24-year-old woman from Mumbai, identified as Riddhi Thakkar, dies after a motorcycle crash in Chhattisgarh while she is travelling on a Bastar bike tour. Sources report she is riding with a group of bikers toward Kanker/Bastar, and the crash happens on National Highway 30 near Markatola Ghat in the Dhamtari area.
Police say her motorcycle collides with a heavy vehicle. One outlet reports the vehicle involved is a trailer truck, while another describes it more generally as a heavy vehicle and says it does not stop after the crash and flees the area. Thakkar is taken to medical facilities—first an emergency response to a community health centre, then transferred to a private hospital in Dhamtari—where she later dies from injuries. Authorities begin an investigation into how the collision occurred and work to identify and locate the heavy vehicle and driver, including checking vehicle and route details and information available to police.
