India, Oct. 24 -- Two cousins in their 20s were charred to death after the white Fortuner they were travelling in collided with a truck from behind in West Delhi's Rani Bagh early Thursday, police said, adding that the truck driver has been arrested.

A senior police officer identified the victims as Henry (single name), 20, a resident of Meera Bagh, and his cousin Dipanshu Chandela, 21, of Paschim Vihar.

A police officer said the control room received a call at 3.10am alerting them about the accident, after which a team reached the spot and found the car "almost entirely under the truck".

"It appeared that the car was going at a very high speed and the impact of the hit was such that it went under the truck," the officer said.
