One truck driver was injured after two trucks crashed on the Delhi-Lucknow highway on Tuesday morning, December 23. The accident took place in Uttar Pradesh's Moradabad district due to low visibility amid dense fog.
The injured person was rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment of his injuries. Due to an accident, the traffic movement was briefly affected on the Delhi-Lucknow highway. The accident occurred around 5 am, when visibility was severely reduced by heavy smog. An onlooker, who was out for a morning walk at the time, said one truck first lost control and crashed into the divider, following which another truck also hit the divider moments later.
