Train runs over woman, 3-yr-old daughter in Vapi

A 40-year-old woman and her three-year-old daughter were killed after being hit by the Humsafar Express when they were trying to cross the tracks below a railway over-bridge near Vapi railway station in Valsad Monday evening.

Jharkhand native Ritadevi Shah and her daughter Radha—residents of Ramanagar in Chhiri area of Vapi—were returning home after buying vegetables from the market when they were hit by the train. The elder daughter Shruti (6) managed to cross the tracks and was unhurt but was shocked to see her mother and daughter hit by the speeding train that was headed to Indore from Mumbai.
