New Delhi: Five people, including a family of four, were killed and 15 others were injured when 25 vehicles clashed with each other on the Delhi-Ambala National Highway-1 in Karnal district recently. A car collided with a stationary truck due to reduced visibility on account of dense fog. The crash was followed by other vehicles close behind, ramming into each other. Karnal SP, Pankaj Nain said, “Five persons were killed in the mishap,” adding that four members of a family from Uttar Pradesh who were on the way to Punjab for a wedding lost their lives. The seriously injured were rushed to a nearby hospital, and the highway was cleared and normal traffic was restored soon after.
