Jaipur. Three people, including a mother and daughter, died in a horrific road accident on Thursday night near Patan intersection near Kishangarh on National Highway-48. A sleeper bus going towards Jaipur hit the bike from behind.
The collision was so severe that the bike riders did not even get a chance to recover. All three died on the spot in the accident. After the accident, there was chaos at the spot and a large number of people gathered.
Bandarsindri police station officer Bannalal Jat said that the accident happened at around 9 pm. Bhagchand (38), resident of Harmada, was going towards Jaipur on a bike along with Lada Devi (45), resident of Faluda, and her daughter Hansa (18).
Meanwhile, the sleeper bus coming from behind hit the bike. After the collision, the bus dragged the bike for about 20 feet.
The magnitude of the accident can be gauged from the fact that the leg of Bhagchand, who was riding the bike, was severed, while the bodies of all three were badly mutilated.
After the accident, a crowd of people gathered at the spot. On receiving the information, police reached the spot and started relief work.
All three were taken to Government Yagyanarayan Hospital, where doctors declared them dead. The police kept the dead bodies in the hospital mortuary.
