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.
