GURGAON: At least four people were killed and several others injured in a multi-vehicle pile-up on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway after dense fog reduced visibility on Monday morning.
One major pile-up occurred near Raniyala Patakpur village, where more than 15 vehicles, including two trucks, crashed into each other due to poor visibility.
The deceased included CISF inspector Harish Kumar (38), a resident of Ambedkar Nagar in Alwar district of Rajasthan, who died on the spot. His body was sent to Mandi Kheda hospital for post-mortem examination.
According to police, four to five others were injured in the collision and were taken to the same hospital, where their condition is reported to be stable.
“The accident happened due to extremely low visibility caused by dense fog. Vehicles failed to see those ahead and rammed into each other,” a police officer said.
Another man, identified as Khalil (45), a resident of Jaipur, also died after his car was involved in the same crash.
Police teams reached the spot soon after the incident and cleared the damaged vehicles to restore traffic. Officials said traffic movement returned to normal after the clearance operation.
In a separate incident near Banarsi village, seven to eight vehicles collided amid foggy conditions. No injuries were reported, though several vehicles were damaged.
A third accident was reported from Ghaseda village on the Delhi–Alwar Road under the jurisdiction of Nuh Sadar police station, where a Haryana Roadways bus collided with a tractor. No casualties were reported, but both vehicles were damaged.
Meanwhile, in Faridabad, a Ford Endeavour rammed into a stationary truck on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway near Kail village, killing two people. Police said the truck driver was not present when officers reached the spot. One of the deceased was identified as Sandeep Kumar, a resident of Jaipur, while the other has not yet been identified.
