Greater Noida: Despite installation of CCTV cameras and signboards displaying the prescribed speed limits for all motorists travelling along the Yamuna Expressway, there has been no reduction in the number of road accidents taking place along this highway stretch in Uttar Pradesh's Greater Noida district.
There was a multiple head-on vehicle collision along the Yamuna Expressway at around 2 a.m.
on Saturday in which one person has died and nine people have been injured, the police said.
Police said that after reaching about 30 km ahead on the road while travelling from Noida to Agra under the Jewar police station area, due to dense fog, a bus coming from behind collided with a canter truck.
Following the collision between the canter truck with the bus, two other cars also collided with the bus in which nine people were left injured. However, one person identified as Satya Prakash, a native of Koyla village in Uttar Pradesh's Etawah district, has died in this mishap.
A police team reached the accident site where they took the injured victims to a nearby hospital and are undergoing treatment.
Due to dense fog on the road, these collided vehicles have been removed from the spot so that all other vehicles plying on the road do not collide with each other.
Earlier, a road accident had occurred on the Yamuna Expressway on December 27 due to dense fog in which nearly 12 vehicles collided with each other.
A major decision has been taken to prevent accidents caused by fog and mist on the Yamuna Expressway.
From December 15, the speed limit of vehicles plying on the Yamuna Expressway will be fixed and the speed of vehicles running at a speed of 100 km per hour has been reduced to 75 km per hour.
