At least five persons were severely injured after four cars piled up near the Akshardham temple late on Monday night. According to the police, one of the cars overturned after hitting a divider. The injured have been rushed to a hospital.

The pile-up led to a massive traffic jam on the stretch. The incident was reported around 10.30 p.m. when a Tata Sumo car slowed down near the Akshardham flyover. A Hyundai Santro car driving behind it rammed the vehicle at high speed, which was followed by a Maruti Swift car. Occupants of each one of the cars including a few women were injured in the accident. A probe has been initiated to find out the reason behind the pile-up.
