Boudh: Tension prevailed at Radhanagar village in Odisha’s Boudh district after a car rammed into a house killing a woman on the spot on Saturday night. The deceased has been identified as Paneswari Dhal.
According to reports, Paneswari was sleeping in her house when the incident occurred Saturday night.
The speeding car coming from Charichhak crashed into the house after its driver lost control of the wheel and skidded off the road on NH-57.
