**Dense Fog Causes Major Vehicle Pile-Up on Delhi-Lucknow Highway, Injuring 10**
A severe fog in Amroha district, Uttar Pradesh, resulted in a significant accident on the Lucknow-Delhi National Highway 9, injuring at least 10 individuals. The incident occurred on Sunday near Shahwajpur Dor village, where visibility was severely compromised, making it challenging for drivers to see vehicles ahead.
As a consequence of the poor visibility, numerous vehicles collided, leading to a chaotic pile-up on the busy highway. Emergency services quickly responded, transporting the injured to nearby hospitals, where their conditions are reported to be stable.
The collision caused substantial traffic disruptions, with long queues forming on both sides of the highway for several hours. Police arrived at the scene and utilized cranes to clear the wreckage, restoring traffic flow after the damaged vehicles were removed.
Authorities are urging drivers to exercise caution while navigating the highway, as dense fog continues to blanket the region. This accident coincides with a period of intense cold in North India, where temperatures have dropped below normal levels, and major cities, including Delhi, are experiencing thick fog that has led to near-zero visibility during early morning hours.
