Two girls, 12 & 19, from Ghaziabad and Delhi killed, four injured in accident on Yamuna expressway

Agra: Two girls — 12 and 19 years — were killed and four of their family members sustained serious injuries after the car they were travelling in crashed into the divider on Yamuna Expressway near milestone 105 in Mathura’s Yamuna Paar area on Sunday.
The girls along with their family members were on their way to Agra from Delhi and Ghaziabad to celebrate the birthday of a relative when they met with the accident, said police.
The deceased were identified as Lavanya Sharma, a Class V student and a resident of Ghaziabad, and Shreya Sharma, a BTech student and a resident of Chhattarpur, Delhi. Shreya’s father Mukesh Sharma, 50, mother Nisha, 49, and brother Yash 24, and Lavanya's grandfather Jugal Kishore Sharma, 62, sustained grievous injuries and were admitted to a private hospital in Mathura, said police.

Police said Mukesh, Yash, and Jugal were stable, while the condition of Nisha was stated to be critical.
“Mukesh Sharma is a property developer and his son Yash is pursuing MTech. Mohit Sharma is the manager of a State Bank of India branch in Ghaziabad,” said Mohit’s brother Amit Sharma.
“Everything changed in a few seconds,” said Mohan Shyam Sharma, a lawyer and a relative of the victims, while speaking with TOI. “We were going to Agra to celebrate the birthday of Amit’s daughter Anshika. Unfortunately, Amit’s niece and Mohit’s only daughter Lavanya and their cousin Shreya died in the road accident. Shreya’s parents and Lavanya’s grandfather have been admitted to the hospital. Lavanya’s parents broke down after seeing her body.”
Station house officer of Yamunapar police station Rakesh Kumar Singh said, “The accident occurred around 12 in the noon. It appears that the driver dozed off at the wheels and the uncontrolled vehicle crashed into the divider. The car was badly damaged in the accident. The families didn't agree for the postmortem of the bodies.”
