Two men died and one seriously injured after a two-wheeler they were travelling on skidded near a lake at Gorai in Mumbai on Tuesday morning.

Preliminary inquiry indicated that the trio, who had gone on a trip, were drunk when they met with an accident. However, the police are awaiting their blood test report.

They had gone to Gorai for a trip. On Monday morning, while the three were allegedly riding triple-seat on the scooter, they met with an accident on Uttan Road near Kumar Residency, the police said.
