GREATER NOIDA: Several people were injured after multiple vehicles collided on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway amid dense fog on Saturday morning.
Poor visibility due to thick fog led to the pile-up, which involved several vehicles.
Emergency services rushed to the spot soon after the incident was reported, and the injured were taken to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Further details about the exact number of vehicles involved and the condition of the injured are awaited.
Earlier, on Friday, at least two people died when their motorcycle hit a roadside tree in UP's Kaushambi district as they were returning home from a feast.
SHO of Charwa Police Station, Mahesh Prasad, said the motorcycle went out of control and hit the mango tree late Friday night along the Manouri-Bharwari road near Samaspur village.
The collision was so severe that the husband, Ajay (25), and his wife, Radha Devi (23), residents of Pantalwa village in Prayagraj district, died on the spot.
The SHO said that after the feast, Ajay was taking his wife, Radha Devi, to her parents' house in Mitwapur village when the incident occurred.
At the time of the accident, Radha's mother was on another motorcycle a short distance ahead. Upon hearing a loud crash, she looked back and saw her daughter and son-in-law lying on the roadside, police said.
