Azamgarh/

Farrukhabad, 14 Dec (HS): Dense fog in Uttar Pradesh (UP) routinely causes

catastrophic road accidents, with recent instances in December 2025 resulting

in several deaths and injuries from pile-ups caused by severely limited

visibility (as little as 10 meters).

These incidents involving buses, trucks, and vehicles illustrate a

recurrent seasonal risk in the state, prompting officials to issue warnings and

advise caution, particularly in the early mornings.

In

the first case, an uncontrolled Maruti car collided with a tree near Bhujhi

turn in the Jahanganj police station area of ​​Azamgarh district in Uttar

Pradesh on Sunday morning, killing two people on the spot and seriously

injuring the driver. Police arrived on the scene, took the bodies into custody,

and sent the injured driver to the hospital.

Police Station Officer Atul Kumar Mishra said that on Sunday, around 7 a.m., a

Maruti car suddenly went out of control and hit a roadside tree near Bhujhi

turn in the Jahanganj police station area. Three people were in the car at the

time of the accident. Siddiqui

(38), a resident of Dullapur, Ghazipur district, and Shashi Singh (40), a

resident of Semour, Jakhanian police station, Ghazipur district, died on the

spot. The car driver, Taufiq, was seriously injured. With the help of local

people, the injured driver was immediately taken to the district hospital,

where he is undergoing treatment. He is the brother of the deceased Siddiqui.

It

is being reported that these people own a clothing shop in the Jakhanian area

of ​​Ghazipur district. They were carrying clothes from Khalilabad to Dullapur
