Varanasi:

One person was killed and another was seriously injured when a motorcycle fell from a flyover above on top of their car in the Ganjari area of Shivpur here, police said on Tuesday.

The incident occurred on Sunday night when a couple allegedly performing stunts on a motorcycle on the flyover lost control and fell on the four-wheeler passing underneath, SHO Shivpur Baijnath Singh said.

According to eyewitnesses, a young couple was shooting a video while performing a stunt on the flyover.

A Railway engineer, Sarvesh (25), suffered head injuries and died on the spot, while his friend Aditya Verma -- also travelling in the car -- was admitted to a private hospital with serious injuries, Mr Singh said.

Soon after the accident, the couple abandoned the bike and fled from the spot, the officer said. A case has been registered against unknown persons, he said, adding efforts are on to identify the culprits with the help of the chassis number of the bike. The bike was without a registration number, Mr Singh added.

Mr Sarvesh was posted in the electricity department of East Central Railway in Prayagraj and was going to the market with Mr Aditya, police said.
