Dense fog causes pile-up of over a dozen vehicles on Greater Noida expressway, several injured.
Early Saturday morning, a massive accident occurred on the Noida Expressway, involving more than a dozen vehicles, including cars and trucks. Dense fog across Delhi-NCR severely reduced visibility, contributing to the collision and causing panic among motorists. The incident led to a prolonged traffic jam, disrupting the morning commute.

The expressway is a major transit route, and the collision caused significant delays and traffic congestion in both directions. Emergency teams rushed to the scene to provide assistance.
Visuals from the site show a white car mounted on the central divider with extensive damage to its bonnet, while a truck is parked nearby. Another vehicle appears trapped underneath a truck, highlighting the severity of the collision. Eyewitnesses described the scene as chaotic, with smoke and debris scattered across the road.
