Smog Effect: Zero Visibility Causes Massive Car Pile-up As 18 Cars Collide In Delhi

Thick blanket of smog caused a freak car pile-up on Yamuna Expressway in Delhi on Wednesday morning. Several cars rammed into each other due to poor visibility. The shocking video went viral on social media.

On the Agra-Noida Yumuna Expressway, as many as 18 cars rammed each other due to the dense fog. One of the bystanders captured the video and uploaded it on the social media. In the video, cars can be seen ramming into one another as people on footpath are shouting and signalling the other cars to slowdown. Some of the passengers suffered minor injuries, while the elderly were dazed due to the accident.

Residents of Delhi woke up to a thick layer of smog on Wednesday. Most schools and colleges were shut due to thick smog that affected visibility badly. Workers and employees had a tough time going to their offices due to poor visibility. Several minor accidents were also reported from various places in the national capital due to smog.

In another incident in Punjab, at least nine students were crushed by a speeding truck when they were standing on a flyover in Punjab's Bathinda district on Wednesday amid dense fog in the area. Seven others were injured in the horrific accident. The truck driver apparently failed to see them due to virtual zero visibility. The victims were rushed to nearby hospitals. Rescue operations were hampered by dense fog.
