A plan to visit Murthal for 'parathas' following a 'liquor party' turned fatal for a 25-year-old woman who died after the speeding car she was travelling in with five others hit the divider and turned turtle on Saturday, police said.
Four of the occupants suffered minor injuries while one, who was driving the vehicle allegedly in an inebriated condition, sustained grave injuries but all are stated to be out of danger, police said.
Murthal is a village in Haryana's Sonipat, around 100 km from Noida and famous for 24x7 dhabas.
According to police, the incident took place at around 12.30 am on the elevated road near Gijhod under Sector 24 police station limits.
The deceased has been identified as Bhoomika Jaduan, a native of Gwalior district in Madhya Pradesh. She worked at a private management company

Those injured have been identified as Robin, Prabhash, Arpit, Abhishek and Shweta, all in their 20s, police said.
"The hatchback had six passengers, including two women, and appears to have been over-speeding. The driver lost control and hit the divider on the right side of the road. The deceased was sitting in the rear but due to the collision, the car's window broke and she suffered severe head injury and died on the spot,” Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Noida) Ashutosh Dwivedi.
Dwivedi said when police spoke to the driver of the car, he said the vehicle was travelling at a speed of 70-80 kmph but evidence suggests that the speed was not less than 100 kmph.
After the car hit the divider, it dagged for about 50 metres before turning turtle, he said.
