Eastern Peripheral Highway Accident: Several Injured After Dense Fog Triggers Multi-Vehicle Pile-Up in Greater Noida

Dense fog on the Eastern Peripheral Highway in Greater Noida caused a major road accident on Monday morning, December 15. Visibility was extremely poor in the Dankaur police station area, leading to a pile-up involving around 12 vehicles. Several people were injured in the accident and were taken to the hospital with the help of the police.

According to reports, the accident occurred when vehicles were travelling from Palwal towards Greater Noida. Due to the sudden drop in visibility caused by dense fog, drivers were unable to see vehicles ahead, resulting in multiple collisions one after another. 

After receiving information, police rushed to the spot and, with the help of residents, rescued the injured and shifted them to hospitals by ambulance. Traffic was later restored after the damaged vehicles were cleared from the road.
