Seven people were killed and four injured in a road accident in Ambala, Haryana on Saturday morning. Police said the accident occurred due to poor visibility owing to heavy fog. They said a truck rammed into two cars on the Ambala-Chandigarh national highway on Saturday.
"Two cars coming from Chandigarh were hit by another vehicle. The accident took place as heavy fog limited visibility. The injured people have been hospitalised," police told news agency PTI.
The victims belonged to Chandigarh and included three women, two minors and their driver. Three others were injured in the accident and rushed the Civil Hospital in Ambala before being referred to the Post-Graduate Institute of Medical Education and Research (PGIMER) in Chandigarh as their condition was serious.
The accident took place in the fog-enveloped highway close to the Drive In-22 resort near Ambala.
