The eyewitness said that when the victim fell off the motorbike, the woman pounced on him and attacked him with the large stone.
"The man died before passersby arrived at the scene", the eyewitness added.
Police later apprehended the woman after a mob had threatened to lynch her.
She was handcuffed and transported in a police pickup truck bucket, escorted by three officers and a man in civilian clothing.
Meanwhile, a car with the registration number GS3499-17 was also involved in an accident at the same stretch, but the driver escaped unharmed.
The driver was taken to the hospital for treatment.
