In a horrific incident, at least 40 passengers were left injured after two buses collided with each other amid fog in Uttar Pradesh’s Mathura on Monday, the police said.
According to PTI, the accident took place around 3 am when both buses were on their way to Noida from Agra, Senior Superintendent of Police, Shailesh Kumar Pandey, said.
Low visibility due to fog is being said to be a contributing factor to the incident.
