The combination of high speed and alcohol turned fatal for two men while three of their friends were injured when the car they were traveling in first rammed into a divider and then crashed into a tree in South Delhi's Moti Bagh here.
All the five persons were residents of Delhi's Sagarpur area and were returning home from Gurgaon after attending a party.

"The incident took place when the driver lost control over the car at Rao Tula Ram Marg. The car first hit the divider and then rammed into a tree. A passerby saw the mangled car and made a PCR call after which the injured were rushed to AIIMS Trauma Centre where Amit and Navneet were declared brought dead which the three others were recuperating," said a police official.
