Fog Causes Deadly Accidents in Pakistan and India
Two separate accidents happened in Pakistan and India because of very thick fog.
In Pakistan, a truck carrying 23 people, mostly from one family, fell off a bridge.
Sadly, 14 people died, and 9 were hurt.
The truck was taking a different route because the main road was closed due to the fog.
In India, more than 12 people were injured when 10 vehicles crashed into each other on a highway.
The fog was so thick that drivers couldn't see the cars in front of them, causing one crash after another.
Both accidents happened early in the morning and caused a lot of chaos.
A truck carrying 23 people fell from a bridge in Kot Momin, Pakistan, due to dense fog, resulting in 14 fatalities and 9 injuries.
In India, 10 vehicles crashed into each other on the Lucknow-Delhi National Highway due to thick fog, injuring more than 12 people.
Both accidents occurred early in the morning and were caused by poor visibility due to dense fog.
