Low visibility due to dense fog led to a multi-vehicle pile-up here on Sunday, leaving a truck driver dead and two others injured, the police said.
The incident took place around 4 am when the Kamarouli railway crossing was closed due to the arrival of a train.
A truck rammed into a car waiting at the crossing and thereafter five vehicles collided with each other.
Station house officer of Kamarouli police station Abhinesh Kumar said truck driver Rohit Pandey (30), a resident of Jais of Amethi district, died while two others were injured.
The body of the deceased has been sent for postmortem. -- PTI
