When the family of four reached near Babbu Hotel on Hingna Road, their moped was hit by a city bus. As a result, Yashwant lost control of the Activa and all the four members fell on the road.

However, unfortunately, Jyoti fell on the other side of road divider. But even before she could recover from the fall, a truck (AP-07/Y 7299) coming from that direction, crushed Jyoti under its wheels injuring her critically. She was immediately taken to nearby Lata Mangeshkar Hospital. However, doctors there pronounced Jyoti ‘brought dead.’ In fact, Jyoti had died on the spot.
