The victim, Shivani Singh, 25, a resident of Malad, was riding on a motorcycle with her friend when the accident occurred.
The water tanker reportedly struck them on Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar Road in Bandra around 8 p.m. on Friday, NDTV quoted sources as saying.
Singh was thrown off the motorcycle due to the impact and tragically came under the wheels of the speeding water tanker, sources reported. Her friend, however, survived the incident.
The tanker’s driver fled the scene immediately after the crash, abandoning the vehicle at the site.
Singh was rushed to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared her dead.
Police are now reviewing CCTV footage from the area to identify and apprehend the driver responsible.
