Northern India road accidents

Entities: Greater Noida · Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, India · Bhaskar Verma · Haridwar

Overview

In late July 2026, two serious collisions occurred on major routes in northern India. On 20 July, a head‑on crash between a corn‑laden truck and a fuel tanker on the Rodha curve near Ishwarwal in Haryana caused a fire that killed the tanker driver and severely burned the other driver. A week later, on 29 July, a pickup carrying pilgrims to Haridwar collided with a truck in Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, killing three occupants and injuring several others, who were taken to hospital. Police detained the truck’s driver and conductor and announced pending legal action. The same report also referenced an earlier incident on 21 July near Greater Noida, where a truck loaded with iron rods lost control, piercing its cabin and killing the driver. Together, these events illustrate a spate of fatal road collisions across Haryana and Uttar Pradesh within a short period.
