Woman killed by Islamic clothing in Australia

A young Muslim woman died after her burkha became snagged in a go-kart. The 24-year-old woman died a terrifying death when a fluttering part of her burkha became caught in the wheels of a go-kart she was driving near the town of Port Stephens, north of Sydney. The Muslim clothing the woman was wearing flew back as she sped around the track and part of it became entangled in the go-kart's wheels. She was strangled in a second and crashed the vehicle. Despite the efforts of paramedics who rushed to her aid, the neck and throat injuries she suffered were so severe that doctors were unable to revive her when she arrived at the John Hunter Hospital in the New South Wales city of Newcastle.
