Two youngsters died after their speeding scooter hit the railing of a flyover in Thane in the early hours of Monday. Though the vehicle remained on the overpass, the youths plummeted 50 feet below. The duo—who was heading in the direction of Thane railway station at the time of the accident—was returning home after dining with two friends at a dhaba in Bhiwandi on Sunday night.

According to the police, the deceased Pratik More, 21, and Rajesh Gupta, 26, and the other two youths worked at an eatery in a mall in Kapurbawdi. Pratik, however, had recently quit to work at a cafe in Nahur. The friends had gathered on Sunday to belatedly celebrate More’s birthday, which was in December, and farewell. After dinner, the four departed on two two-wheelers.
