“As soon as she reversed the car, the car was going to run into us [traders] but there was a tricycle here so it hit the back of it and the vehicle turned in the other direction and knocked down a middle-aged woman. She was dragged under the car, so the men had to come and lift the car up and remove her,” an eyewitness told Class News.
