Mathura, Dec 16: Thirteen people died of burns, and 35 sustained injuries when a vehicle pile-up on the Yamuna Expressway here early Tuesday sparked a big fire, a police officer said.<\/div>\n
At least seven buses and three smaller vehicles collided with each other in the dense fog around 4.30 am, the officer said.<\/div>\n
The incident occurred under the Baldev Police Station jurisdiction.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe vehicles collided due to low visibility on the Agra-to-Noida side of the Yamuna Expressway. Some vehicles also caught fire. All injured have been sent to the hospital,\u201d Mathura Senior Superintendent of Police Shlok Kumar said.<\/div>\n
\u00a0 Two of the deceased were identified as 44-year-old Akhilendra Pratap Yadav, a resident of Prayagraj, and 75-year-old Rampal, from Maharajganj district, Baldev Police Station SHO Ranjana Sachan said.<\/div>\n

Cranes were called in to remove them from the road.<\/div>\n
According to a Mathura Police statement on X, the pile-up at Milestone 127 involved seven buses and three smaller vehicles.<\/div>\n
\u201cNone of the injured are in critical condition,\u201d it said.<\/div>\n
The passengers were sent to their destinations in government vehicles, the SSP said. Since the road is blocked, diversions have been made, he added.<\/div>\n
Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, in a post on X in Hindi, expressed his condolences to the kin of the deceased.<\/div>\n
\u201cThe loss of life in the road accident on the Yamuna Expressway in Mathura district is extremely tragic and heartbreaking. My deepest condolences are with the bereaved families,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n
\u201cI have instructed the district administration officials to ensure proper treatment for the injured. I pray to Lord Ram to grant peace to the departed souls and a speedy recovery to the injured,\u201d Adityanath said.<\/div>\n
According to a post from his office, Adityanath announced Rs 2 lakh each to the kin of the deceased, and Rs 50,000 each to the injured.<\/div>\n
