A woman who was assumed to be her family member, as well as students from the deceased’s school, were seen crying near the scene.

Some residents at the scene speculated that she might have ridden down a slope from the 7th storey before crashing into a railing.

Others said that it was possible that she was not able to brake in time.
Some added that since lesser people parked on the higher storeys, many teens like to cycle or play there.
Police investigations are ongoing.
