As many as eight people, including six women, were killed while 10 sustained injuries in a freak accident when 50 vehicles hit each other on the Rohtak-Rewari highway in Haryana.
The vehicles collided successively due to dense fog caused by the onset of winter, according to officials.
Haryana Minister OP Dhankar said compensation of Rs. 2 lakh will be given to the kin of the deceased, Rs 1 lakh to those who sustained severe injury and Rs. 50, 000 would be given to those with minor injuries.
The injured are being treated at a hospital.
Further details are underway.
