New Delhi : Two men on a motorcycle were killed on Friday at the new Signature Bridge here after ramming into a divider and falling into the river, police said.

The bikers fell 30 feet off the Signature bridge over the Yamuna in Northwest Delhi.

The incident occurred at 8.40 a.m. on the bridge’s left turn loop.

“The two men were rushed to a nearby hospital, where they were later declared dead,” Deputy Commissioner of Police A.K. Thakur said.

“Being a left turn, the possibility of the victims performing stunts has been ruled out,” he added.

The bridge was opened to public on November 4. Huge rush of visitors throng Delhi’s Signature Bridge. The place had turned into a selfie point. Bikers performing stunt here had become common with police having a tough time in nabbing them.
