Three men were killed in a collision on the Gurugram-Alwar highway on Sunday, said police. The accident, involving a dumper and a car, occurred near the village of Nasirbas in Ferozepur Jhirka, Nuh. According to the police, the car, carrying the three friends, collided head-on with the dumper.

The deceased have been identified as Rohan Singh and Nitin Singh from Sultanpuri in Delhi, and Jitendra Singh from Sonipat. Police said that the three were friends, adding that Rohan and Jitendra worked together in a company and were traveling to visit Rohan’s uncle in Rajasthan.

Dilip Singh, Nitin’s father, recounted the incident and said that they were going to Chidwai village in Rajasthan from Delhi when the accident happened around 4 pm. “I was in another car, and my son along with his friends was in a separate car. When we were crossing the village Nasirbas in Ferozepur Jhirka, a speeding truck rammed into the car ahead of us. The dumper driver lost control, parked it on the road, and fled the scene. The locals recognised the driver and tried to stop him but were unsuccessful. All three had died inside the car,” he added.
