Fog: One Dead, 4 Hospitalised In Multi-Truck Pile Up On EPE

One person died and four were hospitalised with injuries after a multi-truck pile-up due to fog on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Greater Noida, police said on Sunday. The incident took place on the intervening night of Saturday and Sunday when the vehicles were on the EPE in the Dankaur police station area, they said.

“Due to excessive fog in the night, a truck rammed into the divider of the expressway while moving on the carriageway from Palwal to Noida. Subsequently, five more trucks coming from behind it piled up,” a police spokesperson said.

A truck driver died in the episode. His identity could not be ascertained, the police spokesperson said.
