3 Friends Going To College Crash Speeding Car On Gurugram Expressway, 2 Killed

Their other friend, Dhruv, who was driving the car is critical. All three had been close friends since their school days and were students of BA first year at the same college in Sohna.

Two BA students were killed after their speeding car went through the divider and rammed into another car on the other side of the road on Gurugram's Sohna Expressway on Monday. The out-of-control car also uprooted a light pole before hitting another vehicle, a Honda City car.

Those who died have been identified as Daksh, a resident of Delhi's Ghitorni, and Akshat, from Nathupur in Gurugram. Both were 19 years old. Their other friend, Dhruv, who was driving the car is critical, police said. All three had been close friends since their school days and were students of BA first year at the same college in Sohna. They were on their way to their university when the accident took place near the Ghamroj toll on the elevated expressway.


Two commuters were also injured in the accident. Ishwar, who was riding a motorcycle, collided with the Honda City and was flung several feet in the air to land on the hood of another car coming from behind. He suffered fractures in both his hands and legs. Both the injured persons were admitted to the civil hospital. 

The incident caused heavy traffic on the stretch which could be eased only after the cars were removed from the expressway by cranes. A team from the Bhondsi Police Station was investigating the matter.

"We are trying to take Dhruv's statement so that the real reason behind the accident can be revealed. An FIR has been registered at Bhondsi Police Station," a police spokesperson said.
