Police said Rakesh tried to avoid the collision by braking and swerving in a different direction. However, the second truck, a Gallop, hit his vehicle, went off the road and came to a stop after hitting a pole. Station House Officer (SHO) Kherki Dhaula and Inspector Mahender Singh said the second truck was speeding and caused the collision.

“The other three people are probably commuters who were given a lift by the driver,” he said. The gallop, which was approaching on the wrong side, had four people on board, including the driver, and was heading towards the expressway.

Three people in the gallop were identified as Shobhit Kumar, Rajesh Kumar and Saurabh Kumar. Together with the woman, they were trapped in the destroyed cab of the truck. It is still unclear who was galloping.

A senior police officer said that even after suffering fractures and deep wounds on his limbs and head, Rakesh managed to jump out of the truck and raise an alarm. “He ran to the second truck and tried to pull out the unconscious woman. During this time, four policemen on two motorcycles also reached there on patrol and helped Rakesh to pull out the two trapped victims,” he said.

The ambulance reached the spot from where the injured victims, including Rakesh, were first shifted to a private hospital in Sector 90 for treatment, but doctors found that the unidentified woman had died, investigators said, adding that Rajesh and Saurabh were undergoing treatment at a Sector 90 hospital.

They said Rakesh was later referred to PGIMS, Rohtak and Shobhit to Safdarjung Hospital in Delhi as their condition was critical. Based on Rakesh’s complaint, an FIR was registered at the Kherki Daula police station on Thursday evening against the truck driver under sections 279, 304A, 337, 338 and 427 of the Indian Penal Code.
