Earlier reporting noted: The police said a speeding Thar lost control while negotiating a turn and overturned. All three were taken to SMS Hospital. The force of the collision threw the e-rickshaw nearly 50 feet away, while the Endeavour also overturned, police said.
An Endeavour approaching from the opposite direction then crashed into the overturned Thar before hitting the e-rickshaw, according to police. Mansarovar SHO Satish Chand said one of them is in critical condition. Police said the labourers were returning after delivering ice cream at a party when the accident occurred. The Endeavour, registered in the name of former minister Ashok Chandna’s wife, has around two dozen traffic challans, while the Thar has six challans for over-speeding, Chand said.
In a separate incident, four members of a family were killed and another was injured after a speeding SUV allegedly hit them on the Fagi-Chaksu Road in Jaipur district on Friday, police said.
