At least 13 people were killed and several others injured after a truck rammed into multiple vehicles in Jaipur’s Harmada area on Monday, November 3.

According to the report of news agency PTI, a dumper trolley hit several vehicles one after the other in Loha Mandi area and then overturned.

Police reached the incident site and started taking the injured people to nearby hospitals.

Rajasthan Minister Gajendra Singh Khimsar has confirmed the death of 13 people in the accident.

“Thirteen people have died. Of the 10 injured, six are here (Sawai Man Singh or SMS hospital) and two are in CKS hospital and two are in Kavatia hospital. The condition of six people admitted here (SMS) is critical and others have minor injuries. A team of our best doctors is treating them,” he told reporters, according to news agency ANI.
