According to police, Aslam Hasan, 30, was riding the motorcycle while his wife Gulshan Hasan, a 11-month-old son, a four-year-old daughter, and another six-year-old son were riding pillion. The family is from Hapur and was headed to Delhi at around 2.30pm on Saturday.

“The couple and their three children were on a bike behind the truck, which was taking a left turn on the highway towards the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. As the bike was speeding and Aslam could not react to the truck taking a sudden left turn, it crashed into the truck,” Shailender Singh, SHO of Wave City police station, said.
