• Thirteen people died in a massive 15-vehicle accident on the Yamuna Expressway early Tuesday morning, caused by dense fog and high-speed driving.
• The Yamuna Expressway, connecting Greater Noida and Agra, is notorious for accidents, with a similar incident injuring 40 people just 11 months ago.
• Mathura District Magistrate Chandra Prakash Singh formed an inquiry committee, including a YEIDA official, to investigate the deadly pile-up.
• Officials note the expressway's susceptibility to dense fog due to open land and water bodies, drastically reducing visibility.
• Experts like Prince Singhal blame a "drive freely" mindset, high speeds (up to 150 km/h), and weak enforcement for frequent fatal crashes.
