A 25-year-old call centre employee who was reportedly driving on the wrong side of the road died when he crashed into a crane early Sunday because of poor visibility affected by thick fog, the police said.

Puniya Nand Sharma, who worked in a call centre in Gurgaon, was returning to his east Delhi home in his Santro car and probably lost direction due to heavy fog near Harphool Singh Akhara in Majnu Ka Tila in north Delhi, the police said.
