Nilam Shinde, 35, is in a critical state after the accident on February 14. Her family in Maharashtra’s Satara had been trying to get a visa since then. The family will be taking the next flight out to the US. They will also be taking a loan of Rs 5 to Rs 6 lakh to go to the U.S. The man whose car hit Ms Shindes drove away after, leaving her severely injured. The Ministry of External Affairs (MEA) intervened after the incident was highlighted by NCP leader Supriya Sule, resulting in an expedited US visa appointment interview slot for the family. She has suffered fractures in both arms and both legs and also required emergency brain surgery, her family said. The accused, Lawrence Gallow (58), was arrested five days later on February 19, the Sacramento Police Department told NDTV. The incident was reported from Fair Oaks Blvd and Cadillac Dr in Sacramento just before 7 pm, the police said. When the officers reached the location, they found MsShinde on the ground.
