Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath on Monday expressed grief over the death of nine people in a road accident near Hafizpur in Hapur.
Several persons sustained injuries when a pickup truck in which the victims were travelling collided with another vehicle on Sunday.
While some of the injured persons were shifted to a hospital in the area, others were referred to a hospital in Meerut.
Adityanath asked the administration to ensure proper treatment for the injured.
"The victims were returning from a wedding when the accident took place," said Sarvesh Kumar, ASP.
