Mathura:- Four people were killed and 25 injured in a major road accident on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura in the early hours of Tuesday. Due to dense fog and low visibility, seven buses and three cars collided. After the collision, many vehicles caught fire, causing panic among the passengers.
It is worth noting that dense fog fell in many cities of Uttar Pradesh on Monday morning. The air quality deteriorated in different parts of the state and visibility decreased sharply. The city of Agra was shrouded in dense fog, due to which the Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world, became completely invisible to the people. A local resident said that the fog was so thick that it was difficult to see even vehicles on the roads.
SSP Shlok Kumar has confirmed that four people were killed in the accident. Kumar told reporters, "At least four people were killed and 25 others injured in a major road accident on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura on Tuesday morning. The collision, which involved seven buses and three cars, took place due to dense fog."
The police officer said that as soon as the information about the accident was received, fire service, local police and local administrative teams reached the spot. According to the information, 25 people have been admitted to the hospital for treatment and none of them is seriously injured. Arrangements have been made to take the rest of the people present at the spot to their homes in government vehicles.
