Many people have been hurt after reduced visibility due to dense fog led to a car pile-up on the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida.

Reduced visibility due to dense fog led to a collision of multiple vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway in Greater Noida on Wednesday morning. Multiple people have been injured in the pile-up which took place around 8 am on the Agra to Noida lane of the expressway in the Dayanatpur area under the Jewar police station limits, news agency PTI reported.

"No person suffered fatal injury in the incident while the number of those injured was yet to be ascertained," Additional Deputy Commissioner of Police (Greater Noida) Ashok Kumar told PTI. He informed that traffic movement resumed on the expressway after most of the damaged vehicles were removed.

Ravi Kumar, an eyewitness told ANI, "The vehicle ahead of me suddenly applied the brake, due to which I hit the brake and then some three to four vehicles behind me also collided with each other."
