• Banerjee's car suddenly braked to avoid collision with another vehicle, the report said.

• When the car jolted forward, the Trinamool Congress chief reportedly hit her head.

• The injury was reportedly not serious and Banerjee continued on her way back to the capital city.

"Shortly after leaving the venue a car strayed into the convoy and her driver had to apply the brakes abruptly. Since she always sits in the front seat," the police was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times.
