4 killed in crash on Mumbai-Delhi Expressway due to fog
What's the story
A major accident occurred on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway early Monday due to dense fog. The incident involved around 20 vehicles and left four people dead, including two police officers. The crash also injured 15-20 others, some of whom are in serious condition. The accident occurred around 5:00am when two overloaded dumper trucks collided. A guava-laden truck then crashed into them, overturning and spilling fruit on the highway. This created slippery conditions and reduced visibility, triggering a chain reaction of collisions.
