Two teenage schoolgirls were killed when a speeding truck hit a motorcycle which the father of one of them was riding here early Friday, the police said.

The three of them were rushed to a hospital, but by then the girls -- one a Class 10 student and another in Class 12 - were dead due to excessive loss of blood.
The truck, from Haryana, was moving from the Inter-State Bus Terminus to G.T. Karnal Road.
