The first incident took place last midnight in Outer Delhi's Rohini area when an SUV, carrying some engineering students, hit a road driver and then crashed into a Sedan coming from the opposite direction.
"A 25-year-old engineering student was killed while eight others including four occupants of the SUV and three of a family who were travelling in the Sedan were injured in the accident," a police officer said today.
The deceased has been identified as Askshat Sharma. He was returning from Maharaja Agrasen Institute of Technology, Rohini where he and his fellow travellers -- Jatin, Sahil, Kuldeep and Harshit -- studied. All four were B.Tech students.
The second accident took place in North Delhi's Kotwali area in which two men were killed and seven others injured when a speeding Ford Figo jumped the red light and rammed into a Maruti Suzuki Omni.
The impact was so forceful that the Omni flipped several times and crashed into another car which was passing through a side lane. "Two men, identified as Manoj and Pradeep, who were sitting in the Omni car succumbed to head injuries they had suffered in the accident," another police officer said.
