I saw when the truck hit her while it was reversing. The back of the vehicle knocked her down and the back tyres crushed her.

Before her colleagues could notice what had happened, the driver of the truck had escaped from the area. Some of her colleagues took her to hospital and some, who came back later, told us that she was dead before she got to the hospital
