One killed, 10 injured in Noida Expressway mishap

One person was killed while 10 others were injured on the wee hours of Sunday after a speeding car collided with a stationary truck on Yamuna Expressway here, police said.

The victims were admitted in a hospital where one succumbed to his injuries while the condition of four others is stated to be critical. Police have sent the body for post-mortem. The car of the victims, who were coming from the national Capital and were going to Aligarh, rammed into a stationary truck.
