Overview
- On Tuesday morning, near‑zero visibility on the Agra–Noida stretch led to a collision involving eight buses and three cars, igniting a fire, with India Today reporting at least four fatalities.
- A separate chain‑reaction crash on the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway near Raniyala involved more than 15 vehicles, according to Hindustan Times.
- Dense fog alerts persist across Noida, Ghaziabad, Gurugram, and Faridabad as early‑morning temperatures hover near 6°C and elevated PM2.5/PM10 further degrade visibility.
- Driving advisories urge slower speeds, larger following distances, no overtaking, and the use of low‑beam headlights or fog lamps instead of high beams.
- Safety guidance also recommends using defoggers, following lane markings rather than other vehicles, stopping at safe locations if visibility becomes perilous, and checking conditions before travel.
