A tragic road accident resulted in four fatalities and three severe injuries when a speeding Thar vehicle crashed into three motorcycles on National Highway 52 in Jaipur's Chomu area, Rajasthan, on Wednesday.

The family members were returning from a pilgrimage to the Khatushyam temple in Sikar district when the incident occurred.

"The Thar was traveling at excessive speed when the driver lost control and collided with three motorcycles ahead. One victim died instantly, while six others suffered serious injuries," he explained.

The collision was so powerful that the motorcycles were completely crushed beneath the Thar vehicle.

Nearby residents quickly responded to the scene and notified authorities.

The injured victims were initially transported to Chomu Government Hospital before being transferred to SMS Hospital in Jaipur for advanced treatment. Tragically, three of the injured individuals, including one woman, succumbed to their injuries during transport, bringing the total number of fatalities to four.

According to police reports, all seven victims were family members residing in Nangal Jaisa Bohra within the Kardhani police station jurisdiction of Jaipur.
