The injured were immediately shifted to the Niyati Hospital and the bodies to the district hospital, a police officer said.

Since its opening in August 2012, the Yamuna Expressway has taken a heavy toll of lives and is now widely called the "Bloody Highway".
According to details made available through an RTI query, since the Expressway opened, 2.3 crore vehicles violated speed limits but only 18,000 were penalised.
Agra Development Foundation Secretary K.C. Jain said even if Rs 300 had been collected from each defaulter for speed limit violation, around Rs 700 crore could have been raised and many lives could have been saved in the process.
