Ghaziabad:
A man and his two-year-old son were among three people killed on Sunday in a vehicle pile-up due to poor visibility caused by fog on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Murad Nagar in Uttar Pradesh’s Ghaziabad district, police said.
The accident occurred in the afternoon near Milak Chakarpur village, they said.
