KANPUR: Three people died and one suffered injuries after a car carrying them rammed into a truck in the morning hours of Saturday due to dense fog on Agra-Lucknow expressway.
The deceased -- Ajit (40) of Arjunganj, Manish (40) of Aliganj and Pankaj (30) of Shiv Nagar Colony in Pratapgarh district -- died on the spot while while the injured person -- Kanchan of Surajdeep Complex, Lucknow -- was admitted to a hospital.
The four people were returning from Agra when the accident occurred near Nagla Vishuna village under the Saurikh police station.
"The bodies have been sent for post-mortem," said police.
UPIEDA security officer Manohar Singh said that the accident probably occurred due to poor visibility caused by dense fog.
The officer said, "It appears that the car was moving at high speed and rammed into a truck moving at a slow pace on the road. Due to the dense fog, the car driver lost control of the wheel."
