A Ghaziabad couple heading out for Rakshabandhan shopping on a motorcycle died on Sunday after a truck hit them from behind on NH-9 near Chhijarsi cut. The couple had reportedly chosen the bike instead of their car because they expected heavy festive traffic on the roads.
Ashish Anand, 36, a resident of Indirapuram, and his wife Neelam, 32, were travelling to a market around 11.15am when the truck crashed into their motorcycle. According to details reported by The Times of India , the impact trapped the motorcycle in the front portion of the truck, which dragged it for nearly 100 metres before stopping.
