Gurugram: Two people were killed, and four seriously injured after a speeding oil tanker collided with a Rolls-Royce on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Nuh’s Urmi village around 2 p.m. on Tuesday, said police officers.

Due to the heavy impact of the collision, both vehicles caught fire and the oil tanker overturned, trapping the driver and passenger inside, which led to their death, the police said.

According to the superintendent of police, Narender Bijarniya, the third occupant of the oil tanker, survived but suffered severe injuries.

“The car was identified as a Rolls-Royce, and its four passengers suffered severe injuries and were taken to a private hospital in Gurugram, where they are reported critical,” he said, reports the Hindustan Times.

The deceased men were identified as Rampreet Kumar and Kuldeep Singh, from Alwar in Rajasthan. The third occupant of the tanker was identified as Gautam Kumar, who hails from Uttar Pradesh.

According to a preliminary investigation, a private company’s tanker was carrying diesel and was on its way to a National Highways Authority of India site to deliver fuel for gensets.

“Rampreet was driving the tanker on the wrong side of the road because he wanted to make a U-turn when he collided with the Rolls-Royce approaching from the Sohna side. Because of the high speed of both vehicles, the tanker overturned after the collision, said Bijarniya, as quoted by the Hindustan Times.

NHAI officials called water tankers, but the Rolls-Royce was destroyed before they arrived, added Bijarniya.

According to the police, a Delhi resident and two Chandigarh residents in the Rolls-Royce were injured and taken to the hospital by friends travelling in another car that was a few metres behind them at the time of the accident.

Ashok Kumar, assistant sub-inspector of Nagina, said the matter was being probed. However, no statements have been recorded so far.
