the mother of all accidents happened on the 27th jan 2007 on the greater noida expressway.the accident involved 12 vehicles.thats right,its not a typo....12 vehicles.27th was a foggy night and and a truck was parked in the extreme left lane with no lights,blinkers to warn other drivers on the road.
now as most of you know,when visibility is very low,people prefer to drive their cars one behind the other.so now there was a trail of 11 cars moving in the same lane and that too in the extreme left lane as they had kept the guard rail as the reference line.the 3 vehicles in the front were trucks and were followed by 8 other cars all doing 60km/h.and that was a recipe for disaster.the lead truck collided with the parked truck and i lead to series of collisions behind it as the rest of the 10 vehicles crashed into each other.
dont know about the status of the people involved in the accident.got to know about this incident from the cops in greater noida as my college is there.

also lost an acquaintance in the same week.they were in a tata indica and hit a parked truck.the drivers side hit the truck first and at that speed it split the car into two.there were 4 people on board out of which 3 died on the spot.
