Man killed after car hits divider on Agra-Lucknow expressway

Kanpur: A man was killed on Friday night when the car he was travelling in hit a divider and turned turtle at Agra -Lucknow Expressway in the Saurikh police area of Kannauj district.
The vehicle, which was coming from Haridwar, hit the divider while approaching channel no. 149 on Agra-Lucknow Expressway, and rammed into a truck, said a senior police officer.
"Prima facie Ankit Kumar (30) was driving the car. He was coming from Haridwar to meet his uncle who is posted in the PWD department in Kannauj," the police officer said. He was pulled out of the mangled vehicle by the Expressway personnel with the help of police officers. “Ankit, who had sustained serious wounds, was declared dead at the spot,” the police officer said.
"A forensic test will be conducted on the mangled parts of the car which was towed away to one side of the E-way," station house officer Saurikh Raj Kumar said, adding that the accident led to disruption in traffic movement for a while. Ankit's body has been shifted to the mortuary for the postmortem examination. TNN
