A 17-year-old girl riding on the back of a scooter, being driven by her sister, was tragically killed in Rajastan, northern India, when it collided with a bus at a junction

A teenage girl was tragically killed when the scooter, on which she was riding as a passenger, collided with a bus at a busy junction.

The 17-year-old, named locally as Mannat, was sitting behind her sister Purvi, when the crash took place at Bombay Motors circle, Rajastan, northern India, on July 1.

CCTV footage of the incident shows the scooter wait for a gap, before pulling out at the 12th road intersection, in the Jodhpur district.

But suddenly a bus coming from the opposite direction collides with the scooter, knocking Mannat off the vehicle.

She fell in front of the bus, which ran over her leaving her seriously injured and bleeding.

Footage then shows Purvi scrambling to get to her feet and check on her sister.

According to reports, Mannat, a resident of Pachpadra Hall Pal Road in Barmer district, had gone to Jalori Gate circle along with her maternal sister Purvi, to buy books in the afternoon.

After buying the books, both the sisters left for home.

Purvi was riding the scooter while Mannat was her passenger.

She was taken to Mathuradas Mathur Hospital in critical condition, where she sadly succumbed to her injuries.

The family was informed about the incident.

After registering a case against the driver, identified as Jeevraj Singh, the body was handed over to the family members.

Police have seized both vehicles.
