HYDERABAD: Cross-country woman biker and social activist Sana Iqbal died in a car crash accident on Tuesday morning in Hyderabad.

The incident took place at around 3:30 am on the outskirts of the city. Iqbal was travelling in a car along with her husband Abdul Nadeem, heading towards home in Tolichowki. The vehicle rammed into the median strip on the Outer Ring Road, said the police.

"Sana's husband Abdul Nadeem was driving the car. Sana, who suffered severe injuries in the mishap, was shifted to a nearby hospital but was declared brought dead. Her husband, who received injuries, is undergoing treatment," said Narsingi Police Station Inspector G V Ramana Goud. 

The 29-year-old was known for her campaign against depression and suicides.

In 2015, Iqbal hit the headlines for a cross-country solo mortorbike trip to spread awareness against suicide. She rode nearly 38,000 kms over 6.5 months, covering every state, on her Royal Enfield Bullet Electra motorcycle.
