Agra, Nov 14 (IANS): Police fired in the air to disperse villagers who blocked traffic on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura after a speeding car killed a motorcycle rider and his son, officials said on Saturday.
The villagers held up traffic movement for over two hours on Friday evening following the death of Harpal, 30, a resident of Agra.
His wife Khushboo, 26, and their three children were seriously injured in the accident and rushed to a Agra hospital where one of the sons died.
The other three are battling for life.
