Two die in car accident in Gurugram

Gurugram: Two people in their 20s died after the car in which they were travelling rammed into a tree. The mishap occurred after their car crashed into another car coming from the opposite direction near Teekli village in Gurugram on Sunday evening.

While the man driving the car, Anurag, 31, survived with injuries, his friends Sumit, 26, and Niteesh, 22, died on the spot.

"It's not clear how the white Swift Dzire in which the trio was travelling hit the other car and the second car did not stop after the accident," said a senior police official from Gurugram police.

"A preliminary investigation revealed that both the cars were speeding and the Swift hit the tree and flipped once," the police official said.

The trio, all residents of Akleempur village, were on their way back home after purchasing 'gur' and other things from a market in Badshahpur, when the accident took place, around 2.30 pm on Sunday, the police official said.

An FIR was filed against the driver of the unknown car under sections 279 (rash driving) and 304A (death due to negligence) of the Indian Penal Code.
