On Tuesday 10 November 2026, a new Ertiga and a DCM collided near Chaubia, in the Chaubia police area, and four men from Agra died while two children were hurt. Reports differ on which vehicle hit the other and no cause is established. We cover it in a case study.
On the night of 3 August 2024, a double-decker bus with a Nagaland number plate, travelling from Raebareli to Delhi, collided with a car near channel number 129 and fell off the expressway. Seven people died and 35 were seriously injured, as the Etawah police chief described it.
At about 5.30 am on 21 November 2025, near Takha, around kilometre 128.5, a car stopped on the expressway because its driver felt sleepy and a driver change was under way. A dumper struck it from the side and the man at the wheel died of his injuries. Police were searching for the dumper. A stop on the carriageway is never safe.
In the early hours of 13 February 2021, dense fog led to a five-vehicle collision near Bharthana on the expressway, in which two people died and 12 were hurt. Similar fog pile-ups were reported the same morning in Kannauj and Firozabad districts.
On 3 August 2025, Uttar Pradesh reported floods affecting 402 villages in 37 tehsils across 17 districts, and Etawah was one of them. In all, 84,392 people were affected statewide and 47,906 of them had received help by then.
