&nbsp;&ldquo;The woman was trying to cross the road. After reaching mid-way, she tried to jump from the divider. As she failed to do so, she decided to return, when Rahane's vehicle that was passing through the stretch, hit her. Since it's a highway, the car was travelling in high speed. Madhukar failed to apply the breaks on time and hit her,&rdquo; said Audumbar Patil, senior inspector of Kagal police.
Patil said Madhukar rushed the wom&shy;an to a local government hospital in critical condition. &ldquo;She died during treatment on Thursday,&rdquo; he said.
