The fog and haze may have contributed to a number of crashes, traffic officials said.
One person died and five others were injured when three vehicles were involved in a rear-end crash on the G60 Expressway in the fog yesterday morning, police said.
A truck hit a sedan, which hit another truck in the front, witnesses said. The driver of the first truck died at scene while the injured, including a Spaniard riding in the sedan, were rushed to the hospital. They were reported to be stable yesterday afternoon.
