Car in Yamuna Expressway crash was rented: Police

The victim, Sai Sharma, was one of five Amity University students who had allegedly gone for a joy ride on the Yamuna Expressway, and were returning to Noida when the accident took place on Friday evening.

“We are getting details of the timings of their examination to determine when they left. It appears the students did not enter Agra and came back after a long drive,” said an officer.

Police said the deceased, Shivani, Owais and Sai, died due to severe neck injuries. The surviving students, who have also fractured their necks, will be undergoing another MRI test within 72 hours of the incident as they are currently admitted in ICU.

Doctors told police that one of the students has lost blood supply to the legs, and efforts are on to stablise it. Police is investigating if the parents were informed of the trip prior to leaving, and are obtaining CCTV footage to establish the timeline of the accident.
