    A 20-year-old woman, riding pillion, was injured on Monday after she fell from a height of 50 feet from west Delhi's Vikaspuri flyover when an unidentified vehicle hit the rear of the motorcycle, police said.


    A police team rushed to the spot after being informed about the accident at around 4 pm, they added.


    During inquiry, police learnt that Kunal, 18, Sapna, 20 and Jia, 22 were going towards Janakpuri from Paschim Vihar on the motorcycle. Their bike was hit by a speeding vehicle.


    The impact of the accident was such that one of the pillion riders, Sapna, fell down from the flyover, a senior police officer said.
