Student victim of hit and run

A 22-year-old female university student died after she was clipped by the sideview mirror of a passing car on Jl. Tanjung Barat, Pasar Minggu, in South Jakarta.

According to witnesses, Ami, a senior student of the Economic Faculty at the University of Pancasila, died of severe wounds to her head, which pounded against the cement road after being hit at around 5 a.m. Wednesday.

Local police are still investigating the case. No information has been obtained about the car or its owner.

"The accident itself was quite simple which, theoretically, should have caused only slight injuries," her neighbor Zamilah said.

Witnesses believe that Ami was taking some fresh air in the morning after spending hours the night before working on class projects. (bsr)
