Couple took a bike to avoid traffic, killed after truck hit them from behind, crushing and dragging them for 100 metres; 5-year-old daughter still doesn't know parents are dead

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.
