A momo seller was killed and two others injured after a private bus ploughed into the boundary wall of a residential complex in Noida’s Sector 118 on Tuesday evening.

A police officer said the three men hail from Nepal and sold momos outside Sriram Society. After the collision around 7 pm, the bus, which was ferrying employees of a private company, came to a halt just a few metres short of one of the residential towers in the complex.

“Deepak (32) died at the district hospital in Sector 39 and Sushil (22) is being treated at Kailash Hospital. The other man, Kishan sustained a minor injury,” the officer added.

Eyewitnesses said around 25 people were aboard the bus and the driver, while turning towards Sector 122 from the 74/75 junction, appeared to have lost control at the turn of the road in front of the society.

Both the driver and conductor of the bus, which was found to be registered in the name of a private tour and travel company, are said to have escaped from the spot.

Later in the day, around 9 pm, police deployed a crane to remove the vehicle from within the premises of the society where it halted on an inner road parallel to the boundary wall the bus crashed into.
