At least 30 cars crashed into a major pile-up on a major highway in Haryana early Wednesday morning. Four people who were travelling in one of the cars have died.
Officials say the mishap occurred due to poor visibility owing to fog.
“A truck broke down on the road...another vehicle hit it from behind. Then at least 30-40 vehicles piled up because of the fog,” Highway Patrol Officer Manoj Kumar was quoted as saying to ANI.
