Since her father was unable to spot the pothole in time, both were thrown of the bike due to the sudden jerk. Neha was crushed to death by a truck that was moving parallel to them and her father suffered injuries to his back and legs.
Neha Mirchandani had just completed her Masters in Dental Surgery.
Not the first
A 21-year-old youth died after his bike hit a pothole near JJ flyover on late September. Rizwan Khan, who died on the spot, is Mumbai's first pothole victim this season.
The police said Khan was not wearing a helmet and sustained severe head injuries, while his friend, Murtuza Sayyad, who was riding pillion, received minor injuries.
