Dense fog triggers multi-vehicle crash on Greater Noida Expressway, many injured
Visuals from the spot showed severe damage to several vehicles. A white car was seen mounted on the central divider with its front end crushed, while a truck stood nearby.
A major accident involving more than a dozen vehicles was reported on Saturday morning on the Noida Expressway after dense fog reduced visibility across the Delhi-NCR region. The collision involved several cars and trucks and resulted in multiple injuries, officials said. The crash occurred on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, also known as the Kundli–Ghaziabad–Palwal (KGP) Expressway.
The six-lane, 135-kilometre corridor connects parts of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh and is a crucial route for inter-state traffic.
Vehicles badly damaged
