What exactly happened in Jaipur’s Harmada area?

A dumper truck, reportedly driven rashly and suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, ploughed into at least 17 vehicles on a busy road in Jaipur’s Harmada area near Loha Mandi. The 300-metre-long trail of destruction left 13 people dead and at least 10 injured.

How did the accident unfold?

The dumper came speeding from Road No. 14 towards the Loha Mandi petrol pump and began hitting vehicles in its path. It smashed into cars, motorbikes, and pedestrians before finally colliding with a trailer truck on the Delhi-Ajmer Highway. CCTV footage showed the dumper speeding at over 100 kmph.

What did the locals say?

The locals described the incident as a “massacre.” “We saw people pulling out one body after another from the wrecked cars. Some were trapped inside, others were lying on the road. It was chaos, screams and blood everywhere,” said a local shopkeeper.

Who are among the victims?

Among the deceased were members of a family from Agra, Nanji Bhai, his brother, two women, and a child, who were returning from Khatushyamji after offering prayers. Another victim, Mahendra (38), a weaver from Jaipur’s Bainad Road, died along with his niece Bhanu (5). His older niece Varsha (19) is in critical condition at the trauma centre.

What do officials say about the cause of the crash?

Jaipur District Collector Jitendra Soni said, “Thirteen people died and 10 are injured. The injured are being treated at SMS Hospital’s trauma centre.” Additional Police Commissioner Rajiv Pachar added that the dumper was driven recklessly. The driver reportedly hit a car first, and when locals tried to stop him, he accelerated further, hitting more vehicles before being caught.

What happened to the driver? Where is he?

The locals managed to nab the driver after the collision and handed him over to police. Authorities said the driver is injured, and a medical examination will determine whether he was intoxicated at the time.
