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.
