Dense Fog Triggers Multi-Vehicle Collision in Muzaffarnagar, Several Injured

A severe multi-vehicle collision on the Panipat–Khatima road in Muzaffarnagar occurred amid dense morning fog, leaving several injured and disrupting traffic. Police and local authorities responded swiftly, sending victims to hospitals and managing congestion as visibility dropped sharply across the region.

A thick blanket of early-morning fog led to a major pile-up on the Panipat–Khatima route in Uttar Pradesh’s Muzaffarnagar on Thursday, leaving several people injured and disrupting traffic for hours. The accident, involving more than half a dozen vehicles, occurred when drastically reduced visibility made it nearly impossible for motorists to see approaching traffic in time to brake.

According to local officials, multiple vehicles collided in quick succession as the fog intensified along the busy stretch. Police and emergency teams rushed to the scene, assisting the injured and arranging immediate medical transport to nearby hospitals. Authorities also worked to regulate traffic around the crash site, preventing further accidents amid the lingering low-visibility conditions.

Police said preliminary reports indicate that the dense fog was the primary cause of the chain reaction collision, with visibility dropping sharply during peak morning travel. As recovery teams cleared the debris and restored the flow of vehicles, officials issued fresh advisories urging commuters to exercise extreme caution during fog-prone hours.

The incident underscores the persistent risks posed by winter fog across northern India’s highways, highlighting the ongoing need for strengthened road-safety awareness, improved lighting, and responsible driving practices during adverse weather conditions.
