Four killed, 25 injured after buses and cars collide in low visibility near Mathura

Fog Triggers Deadly Pile-Up on Yamuna Expressway

At least four people lost their lives, and 25 others were injured after a massive pile-up involving multiple vehicles on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura early Tuesday morning. The accident occurred near Milestone 127 in the Baldev area around 4:30 am, when dense fog severely reduced visibility on the highway.
According to police officials, the collision involved seven buses and three cars, triggering a fire that engulfed several vehicles. Three of the deceased were travelling in buses, while one victim was in a car. Authorities confirmed that none of the injured are in critical condition and all have been admitted to nearby hospitals for treatment.
Among the buses involved, one belonged to the state roadways while six were private sleeper coaches. Emergency response teams managed to bring the fire under control shortly after the incident. Rescue operations were swiftly launched, with around 14 ambulances and nearly a dozen fire tenders deployed to evacuate passengers and assist the injured.
The Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister has taken cognisance of the incident and ordered immediate relief measures. An ex gratia amount of ₹2 lakh has been announced for the families of those who died, and officials have been directed to ensure the best possible medical care for the injured.
Authorities have highlighted that similar accidents are frequently reported during the winter months due to persistent fog and low visibility. A day earlier, another major pile-up involving 18 vehicles was reported on the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway in Nuh, underscoring growing safety concerns on highways during foggy conditions.
