New Delhi:

At least three dozen vehicles, including trucks and buses, crashed into each other on a highway in Haryana's Rohtak on Sunday after dense fog reduced visibility to a minimum. The massive pile-up has left several drivers and passengers injured and the vehicles damaged. Two separate incidents were also reported in the state's Hisar and Rewari.

In Rohtak, a major accident occurred in the Meham area where 35-40 vehicles, mostly trucks, collided, injuring several people. The accident occurred at a highway intersection. A truck and a car collided, followed by a chain reaction involving many other vehicles.

The injured were hospitalised while the relief work was being carried out by the police and administration officials. A video showed one of the trucks badly crushed and people rushing to rescue the occupants.

In Hisar, two state roadway buses collided with other vehicles at Dhiktana Moda on National Highway 52 at around 8 am. The pile-up of vehicles occurred after a Kaithal roadways bus collided with a dumper truck. Another bus following these two vehicles collided, following which a car and then a motorcycle also joined the pile-up.

Hundreds of people who were involved in the accident fortunately did not suffer any injuries except the motorcycle rider, who was admitted to a hospital.

In Rewari, an accident occurred on National Highway 352, after around three to four buses collided violently due to low visibility. Those injured were admitted to nearby hospitals for treatment.

Haryana has been experiencing a severe cold wave for the past few days, with temperatures hovering in the 4-6 degrees Celsius range across most districts.

Earlier, the India Meteorological Department (IMD) issued a cold wave alert for the state. The IMD warned of hazardous road conditions and advised commuters to exercise caution, use low-beam headlights, and maintain safe distances while driving through fog-affected areas.
