An 18-year-old boy was k!lled and two of his friends injured after a truck struck them while they were filming a social media reel on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway near Ferozpur Jhirka in Nuh, Haryana, India.
The deceased has been identified as Mohammad Moin, a Class XII student and resident of Shahpur Nangli village in Nuh.
His friend, Mohammad Shaad, and a third companion who was recording the video sustained serious injuries and are currently receiving treatment.
The group had accessed the high-speed expressway — a restricted zone for pedestrians — to create content for social media. The moments leading up to the crash were captured on the phone used to film the reel.
In the video, Moin and Shaad were seen walking along the shoulder of the expressway, posing with energy drinks while their friend recorded them. Distracted by the camera, they failed to notice a speeding truck approaching from behind.
The truck, reportedly attempting to overtake another vehicle, veered onto the shoulder and rammed into the teenagers at high speed. The impact threw them several feet into the air.
Passersby rushed the injured victims to a nearby government hospital in Mandi Khera, where doctors confirmed Moin dead.
The two injured companions remain in critical but stable condition.
Subhash Chand, Station House Officer (SHO) of the Sadar Ferozpur Jhirka Police Station, said the truck driver fled the scene immediately after the accident.
Police have launched an investigation and are searching for the unidentified driver and vehicle.
