Greater Noida: Four people were killed after a speeding trailer allegedly lost control, broke through the divider and crashed into a car on the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida's Jewar area late Sunday night.

According to police, the accident occurred at around 10 pm on August 30 near the 36-km mark of the Yamuna Expressway under the Jewar police station limits. A Dial 112 call alerted authorities about a collision involving a trailer and a car.

Visuals of the ill-fated wrecked car have surfaced on the internet showing the severity of the crash. The vehicle can be seen completely destroyed on the driver's side, all the way to the back.

Greater Noida DCP Ravi Shankar Neem said a Baleno carrying four people was travelling from Mathura towards Noida when it was hit by the trailer, which was travelling in the opposite direction from Noida towards Agra.

According to the DCP, the trailer broke through the median barrier on its right and entered the lane carrying traffic towards Noida before colliding with the car. The impact was reportedly severe, leaving the Baleno badly damaged and trapping its occupants inside.

The Station House Officer of Jewar reached the spot along with his team after receiving the information. Senior police officials, including the ACP Jewar, ADCP Greater Noida and DCP Neem, also reached the accident site.

All four occupants of the car were found unconscious after the collision. Police and rescue personnel extricated them from the wreckage and rushed them to a nearby hospital, where doctors declared all four dead.

Local reports said the impact was so severe that the victims were trapped inside the mangled vehicle. Rescue teams had to work to remove parts of the damaged car to recover the occupants.
