Mathura (UP), Jan 8 (PTI) Two students were killed and another seriously injured after their motorcycle was reportedly hit by a speeding trailer on the Agra-Delhi National Highway here, police said on Thursday.
The incident occurred on Wednesday evening near KD Medical College here when an unidentified trailer hit the motorcycle on which the three were returning to Delhi, they said.
According to the police, the deceased are identified as Ankit, a resident of Barsana area and Naman, from Chhata area, both aged 22, while Rehan was critically injured.
Ankit and Naman were first-year B.Com students of Delhi University and were also preparing for the Chartered Accountancy examination. They had come to Mathura to appear in a mock test, Station House Officer of the police station Kamlesh Kumar Singh said.
On reaching Chhata, they picked up their friend Rehan, a resident of Tehsil Kasba Gate, and the three left for Delhi on a single motorcycle, he said.
