A tragic road accident in Jaipur resulted in the deaths of a mother, her son, and daughter-in-law, with seven others sustaining injuries when their speeding car collided with a parked container truck. The collision was so severe that it completely crushed the front portion of the car, instantly killing three occupants. The incident occurred near the Chandwaji police station area on the Jaipur-Delhi highway around 11 am on Tuesday.
Seven passengers, including women and children, suffered serious injuries and were promptly taken to NIMS Hospital for medical care. Eyewitnesses reported that the car, traveling at high speed, lost control and crashed into the stationary container truck, causing a temporary traffic jam on the busy highway. Locals and police had to rescue several trapped passengers from the mangled vehicle.
Chandwaji SHO Hiralal Saini stated that the accident happened at Bilpur, approximately one kilometer before the Chandwaji flyover. The car, heading from Jaipur to Delhi, was carrying men, women, and children. Doctors at NIMS Hospital pronounced Pooja Singh, Basanti, and Vivek Kumar dead upon arrival. The three victims were residents of Dibulgaj in Varanasi, and due to the impact of the collision, the car’s engine was ejected, and the front part of the vehicle was nearly split in two.
Seven others were injured in the accident, identified as Vikas, Aditi, Nikki, Sibu, Kuku, Anshu, and Deepraj, with two of them from Phoola, Raebareli. The mishap occurred as the family was returning from a pilgrimage to Khatushyamji. Initial investigations suggest that the accident might have been caused by overspeeding and the driver potentially falling asleep at the wheel. Both the damaged car and the container truck have been confiscated for further inquiry.
Following the accident, a significant traffic congestion formed on NH-48, causing a 30-minute standstill for vehicles on both sides. Traffic flow was gradually restored later on. Road accidents on National Highways are on the rise nationwide, emphasizing the growing concern for road safety.
