Luckily, the woman survived with only minor injuries. She was seen approaching a blind spot as another bus blocked her vision of the other half of the road.

Here is the full CCTV video of the incident:

A crowd quickly gathered around the injured woman, helping her up and bringing her a chair. 

Some netizens indulged in a back and forth on who was at fault: the woman or the truck driver, while one netizen said crossing of this major road needs to be controlled by a traffic signal.

The accident occurred at around 8:30 in the morning on 3rd March and the CCTV video showed the truck speeding away without stopping after hitting the woman.

Manjunath Gowda from the Manipal police station confirmed that a case has not been filed against the truck driver, which could not be identified immediately after the hit-and-run accident. 

“The woman has not filed a complaint with us, therefore we haven't identified the vehicle or its driver,” he said.
