 A 19-year-old physiotherapy student died when his speeding car overturned after hitting a kerb and ramming into a water tanker in southeast Delhi in the early hours of Sunday, police said.

Ansh Girdhar, a resident of Kalkaji Extension, was returning home when the incident occurred on the Okhla Estate Road, police said, adding that they were informed about it around 3.29 am.

According to the preliminary investigation, Girdhar was driving his Baleno car at high speed and lost control in order to save his vehicle from a tree trunk lying on the road. The car hit the pavement and then a water tanker parked on the roadside, following which it overturned, an officer said.

The teenager was rushed to the All India Institute of Medical Sciences where he succumbed to his injuries, Deputy Commissioner of Police (Southeast) Chinmoy Biswal said, adding that the car was found in a severely damaged condition at the accident site.
