Asked if police suspect it to be a case of drunken driving, Mr Mahesh said, "The viscera of the deceased will be sent to a forensic science laboratory. Now the post mortem is underway."
The lorry was parked near the roadside after it broke down prior to the accident, police said. A case will be registered against the lorry driver as he parked it without switching on precautionary indicators for other vehicles, the inspector said.
