Twelve people were killed after a speeding dumper collided with an auto-rickshaw ferrying passengers in the early hours of Thursday in the Shahjahanpur district of Uttar Pradesh, police said. The accident was attributed to low visibility caused by dense fog, a recurring challenge during winter months in the region.
