The carnage continued on the Bareilly–Pilibhit stretch within the Hafizganj police station limits, where an e-rickshaw carrying laborers was rammed by another heavy vehicle. The collision resulted in the immediate death of two brothers, while two other laborers seated in the rickshaw sustained life-threatening injuries. Emergency responders rushed the survivors to a nearby private medical facility, where they remain in critical condition. Preliminary investigations suggest that the combination of high speed and the blinding seasonal fog made it impossible for the drivers to maneuver in time. Police have initiated legal proceedings and are working to identify the errant truck drivers who fled the scenes. These incidents highlight the recurring peril of winter transit in Northern India, where the lack of visibility frequently turns highways into death traps for vulnerable commuters and daily earners.
