Noida (UP): A 44-year-old man was killed after a speeding truck hit the divider and overturned along the Yamuna Expressway in Gautam Buddh Nagar, police said Sunday.

The incident took place near Jaypee Sports City, under the Dankaur police station area, late on Saturday night, they said.

"The Mainpuri-registered canter truck was carrying vegetables. Suddenly it hit the divider and overturned on the road. The occupants suffered injuries and were taken to a hospital, where one of them died," a police official said.

The deceased has been identified as Vimal Prakash, a native of Mainpuri district, the official said, adding that others injured in the incident are hospitalized.

No one was seriously hurt in the crash of the second truck, which is registered in Agra, the official added.
