Noida:

Over a dozen vehicles, including cars and trucks, collided on the Noida Expressway amid the dense fog in Delhi-NCR on Saturday morning. The accident led to a long traffic jam on the expressway and left several people injured.

The accident took place on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway or the Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal Expressway, a 135 km long, six-lane wide expressway passing through the states of Haryana and Uttar Pradesh.

Visuals from the accident site show a white car that had climbed onto the divider with its bonnet severely damaged. A truck stands adjacent to it. Another car is seen stuck under a truck. Vehicles appear to have rammed into one another owing to reduced visibility amid thick smog.

The police and toll management personnel are involved in clearing the damaged vehicles with the help of cranes. Responding to the video, the Gautam Buddh Nagar (Noida) Police Commissioner office said that the cops are present at the scene and an investigation is underway.

"In the said case, the police force is present at the scene, and necessary actions are being taken," the Police Commissionerate wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

Details about the exact number of vehicles and people affected by the accident are awaited.

Residents of Delhi-NCR woke up to a thick layer of smog, resulting in reduced visibility on the roads. Noida Sector-125, which is closer to the expressway, recorded Air Quality Index (AQI) of 449, falling under the 'severe' category at 12 noon, according to the Central Pollution Control Board (CPCB).

Gautam Buddh Nagar Traffic Police Issues Guidelines

In view of the dense smog covering Delhi-NCR, the Gautam Buddh Nagar Traffic Police has issued speed guidelines. On the Yamuna Expressway, the speed limit for light vehicles has been set at 75 km/hour, and for heavy vehicles, it is 60 km/hour.

Speed limits have also been set on the Noida-Greater Noida Expressway: 75 km/hour for light vehicles and 50 km/hour for heavy vehicles.

Speed limits on the Noida elevated road are set at 50 km/hour for light vehicles and 40 km/hour for heavy vehicles.
