From preliminary investigation, it seems that the Hyundai Santro car was moving at a speed close enough to 100 kmph when it hit the rear side of the private school bus parked on one side of the road near the Rani Bagh intersection, said a police official.
He added that the driver of the car was also found to be in an inebriated state.
The deceased has been identified as Gurmeet, who was sitting on the backseat. The car was being driven by his friend, Hemant, while another friend, Manni, was sitting on the navigator seat.
The entire front portion of the car was damaged by the impact of the crash and all three occupants had to be pulled out by a police team, said the official. They were rushed to the spot, where Gurmeet was declared brought dead.
While Gurmeet was a resident of outer Delhi's Nangloi, Hemant and Manni are residents of Rani Bagh and Tilak Nagar respectively. Hemant and Manni are at present reported to be in a stable condition, said the official.
