Thalayolaparamabu: A housewife, who suffered a head injury after the door of a running lorry came open and hit her head as she was walking on the road, has died after fighting for her life for over a week.
Omana, 48, wife of Venugopalan of Marangattupuram, Varikkamkunnu, was injured grievously on December 17, around 5.45 pm.
Omana was walking along the left side of the road after buying fish from a roadside vendor. The lorry, which has a national permit, was going from Kottayam towards Ernakulam.
As the lorry driver negotiated a curve, the heavy wooden door on the left side swung open and hit Omana behind her head. The driver, who was alone in the lorry, did not bother to stop, but the local people blocked the lorry and detained him.
Omana collapsed on the road and was rushed to the Medical College Hospital where she died on Thursday, Dec 27. Doctors said the head injury killed her.
Omana leaves behind two daughters, Karthika and Keerthana.
