The car was badly mangled in the impact as it hit the backside of the dumper which was stationed on the road for a change of tyre. The occupants of vehicle were retrieved with much difficulty after cutting the metal body of the car, police said.
The deceased have been identified as DLF Phase III resident Ansar Ahmad, Sultanpur(UP) resident Vikas, Sonia Vihar resident Vivek Tiwari, Lalbagh(Ghaziabad) resident Nishant, Mahavir Enclave resident Dipak, and Sonia Vihar resident Amit. All the deceased were in the age group 25-30 yeras, said a senior police officer.
All the six were immediately rushed to the hospital where doctors declared them dead.
The deceased were reportedly headed towards Sonipat when the accident occurred near Budhpur village.
Police found a tyre and some soil on the spot and later traced the vehicle as a dumper and caught its driver Santosh from Bakauli village.
