Tragically, she had just arrived at the premises when the unattended vehicle veered off the road and crashed directly into the shop.

“She wasn’t even supposed to be there,” a visibly shaken eyewitness told reporters. “She only came because her madam asked her to step in for a bit. It’s heartbreaking.”

The truck, which had been parked nearby, reportedly rolled due to mechanical failure or negligence, with initial reports suggesting that the driver may have failed to properly secure the handbrake
