Hyderbad: Cross-country woman motorcycle rider Sana Iqbal (29), who undertook a solo expedition to raise awareness about suicide and depression, died in a car crash near here early this morning, police said.
Her husband was injured in the accident that took place on the city outskirts around 3.30 am, a police official said.
Sana and her husband Abdul Nadeem were travelling in a car and heading home in Tolichowki here when it rammed the median on the Outer Ring Road, said Narsingi Police Station Inspector GV Ramana Goud.
