As the four teenagers smiled for the camera, Hayati was accidentally struck by the massive vehicle. Her friends claim that the impact made her body fly a few feet from where they were kneeling.

Disturbing photos posted on social media showed Hayati lying on the ground with her skull open. After the horrific accident, the teenager was immediately rushed to a local hospital to get her scalp sewn back together.
Hayati will reportedly require further medical assistance. However, it’s unclear if she will suffer any long-term effects in her brain after the accident.
Local authorities did not say whether the area where the girls decided to take a selfie was restricted.
