The incident happened when one car rammed into another car due to low visibility, and a third car collided with the damaged car, which was lying stationary on the road, news agency ANI reported, citing eyewitnesses. A total of three cars were involved.

"First, one car hit another car. Then, one of the cars drove away, and the other remained stationary and damaged. A little while later, another car came and hit the damaged car from behind," the eyewitness was quoted as saying.

Another eyewitness also said that one of the vehicles involved in the initial collision had already left the spot, adding that one or two people were injured in the collision.
