Two persons died while three others sustained injuries after their car, which was allegedly speeding, hit a divider and turned turtle in Greater Noida’s Alpha Sector 1 around 5 a.m. on Monday.
Amar and Rajesh died in the accident, while Kuldeep Singh, Pramod Kumar and an unidentified person sustained serious injuries.
“Locals informed us about the accident. They managed to pull out two among the five people from the mangled car. We used gas cutters to remove one of the deceased men from the vehicle. Prima facie it appears that the victims were over-speeding,” said a senior police officer.
Post-mortem
The victims were taken to a hospital, where Amar and Rajesh were declared brought dead. Their bodies have been sent for post-mortem. The injured men have been admitted to the Intensive Care Unit (ICU), where their condition is stated to be critical.
According to the police, all five victims belong to Surajpur village.
A case has been registered and further investigations are under way.
