Two teenagers, who were going to the market to buy a cricket ball, were killed when the motorcycle they were riding was hit by a truck on the national highway to Delhi.

Sachin, 15, and Rahul, 16, of Guru Tegh Bahadur Nagar had gone Friday to the market to buy a new cricket ball.

Near the Kamayani Hospital, a truck, which was trying to overtake them, hit the motorcycle. Sachin died on the spot while Rahul succumbed to his injuries in hospital.

The truck dragged the motorcycle quite some distance before hitting a cyclist, who sustained serious injuries.
