Mangaluru: The woman who had been severely injured in the BMW car crash has been declared brain dead by the doctors.

On April 9, the victim, Preethi Manoj, was riding on a two-wheeler when a speeding BMW jumped the divider and crushed her under its wheels. Following the accident, she was undergoing treatment at a private hospital in the city.

Preethi’s family members decided to donate her organs after she was declared brain dead.
