Speeding SUV of Congress leader's wife rams into Thar, collides with e-rickshaw in Jaipur, 3 injured
According to police, an Endeavour approaching from the opposite direction crashed into the overturned Thar before hitting the e-rickshaw.
Three labourers sustained injuries when an SUV belonging to the wife of former Indian National Congress MLA Ashok Chandna collided with an electric rickshaw in Jaipur, Rajasthan. The incident occurred late Sunday night near Mansarovar Metro station. According to police, the Thar vehicle skidded off the road while taking a turn at high speed and overturned.
Subsequently, an Endeavour car approaching from the opposite direction crashed into the overturned Thar, which then collided with the e-rickshaw. The force of the collision propelled the e-rickshaw about 50 feet away, causing its occupants to be thrown. The injured labourers, identified as Shankar Singh, Mukesh Jawali, and Umashankar, were taken to SMS Hospital.
One of the labourers is in critical condition. The family was returning from delivering ice cream to a party when the accident ensued. Both vehicles involved in the Jaipur collision had prior traffic violations; the Endeavour had over two dozen challans, while the Thar had six for over-speeding. The drivers of the vehicles fled the scene after the crash, leaving the cars behind.
Police are now examining CCTV footage to identify the drivers. In a related incident, four family members were killed and another injured when a speeding SUV struck them on the Fagi-Chaksu Road in Jaipur district on Friday. The family was returning home after working in their fields when the collision occurred. The deceased were identified as Satyanarayan, his wife Manmouj, daughters-in-law Amrita Devi and Shimla Devi.
