Ghaziabad: Two youth, reportedly in their mid-twenties and working with a private company, died after the motorcycle they were traveling on collided into a stationary truck from behind on late Tuesday night.

"The truck has been seized and the driver has been arrested after registering a case against him," he added.
Police further said that had the victims been wearing helmet, they would have survived the collision.
"Looking at the intensity of collision, we can make out that the bike was being driven at a very high speed at the time of the collision. Both of the victims suffered severe head injuries.
"The injuries could have been averted if the two youth were wearing a helmet," Dubey further said.
