In a tragic incident, a teenage boy lost his life while two others were injured in a collision involving a car and a motorcycle in Noida. According to the police, the incident occurred around 8 a.m. in Chhapraula village, Sector 168, under the jurisdiction of the Expressway Police Station.
The police said the deceased, identified as Aman Kumar, aged around 15, hails from Sector 135. He succumbed to his injuries at the scene of the accident, while the two other students were rushed to the hospital and are currently undergoing treatment.
Elaborating on the details of the incident, a police spokesperson said the driver of the car, identified as Pramod Sharma from Mangrauli, was en route to a private hospital in Sector-27, where his wife had been admitted for the past two days when the accident occurred. The police spokesperson clarified that there was no evidence of deliberate wrongdoing, asserting that Sharma is an employee at a private motor company.
