Last Reel of Life: 18-Year-Old Killed While Filming Social Media Video on Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, Watch

A deadly crash on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Haryana involved teenagers filming a social media reel on the road shoulder. The incident resulted in one death and two serious injuries, with police investigating the truck driver’s actions and footage from CCTV and witnesses.

An 18-year-old was killed and two friends were hurt when a speeding truck hit them on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway near Ferozpur Jhirka in Haryana’s Nuh district. Police said the group was recording a social media “filming reel” on the roadside when the crash took place.

The deceased, identified as Mohammad Moin, lived in Shahpur Nangli village in Nuh and studied in Class XII. Two companions, including friend Mohammad Shaad and another youth who was shooting the video, suffered serious injuries. Doctors at the hospital in Mandi Khera stated that both injured teenagers are under treatment.

According to police, the teenagers had entered the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway on foot, despite pedestrians being barred from the high-speed corridor. Investigators said the group walked onto the shoulder to create content for social media, turning the restricted stretch into a backdrop for their “filming reel”.

The crash was recorded on the same smartphone used for the “filming reel”. The clip shows Moin and Shaad walking and posing with energy drinks on the shoulder of the expressway, while the third teenager recorded them from a short distance. None of them appeared to notice vehicles rushing past at high speed.

The video suggests the truck was trying to overtake another vehicle before it swerved towards the shoulder. The vehicle then struck the teenagers with force, sending bodies several feet into the air. The footage ends abruptly after the impact, which occurred in seconds while the group remained focused on the camera.

Passers-by called for help and moved the injured teenagers to the government hospital in Mandi Khera. Doctors declared Moin dead on arrival. Hospital staff reported that the two surviving boys were in critical but stable condition and were being monitored closely because of multiple injuries from the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway accident.

Subhash Chand, Station House Officer of Sadar Ferozpur Jhirka police station, said the truck driver escaped from the spot soon after the collision. Police registered a case and started efforts to trace the unknown truck and driver using the crash video, local CCTV footage and witness statements from the Haryana expressway stretch.

Officers said the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway is built for fast, long-distance traffic and does not permit walkers because of safety concerns. The Haryana incident has again drawn attention to the risks of recording social media stunts near heavy vehicles, especially on controlled-access roads where any mistake can cause a fatal accident.
