Seven people were killed on Monday after a car collided with a truck in Haryana's Jhajjar district, leading to a massive pileup involving several vehicles, police said.

Several others were injured in the pile-up of 50 vehicles, including school buses, because of dense fog on the Rohtak-Rewari highway between Delhi and Haryana this morning.

The incident took place near a flyover in Haryana's Jhajjar. All seven dead are women. 10 of the injured are critical.

The victims were travelling in a jeep, officials said. "As the cruiser jeep was involved in an accident with a truck, other vehicles which were close behind also rammed into each other. The visibility was poor due to dense fog," a Jhajjar police official said.
