Jaipur, Oct 13 (NationPress) Tragically, two lives were lost and three individuals sustained injuries following a high-speed collision between an ambulance and a truck on the Jaipur–Ajmer highway, close to Chhitaroli station in the Bagru region of Rajasthan, according to police reports.

The incident transpired around 2:30 a.m. when the ambulance lost control due to an oil spill from a parked palm oil tanker on the roadway.

Sub-Inspector Sher Singh Meena from Bagru Police Station confirmed that the loss of control was caused by the oil slick. He elaborated, "A gravel dumper collided with a stationary palm oil tanker, resulting in a leak that spread across the road. Shortly thereafter, an ambulance traveling from Kishangarh skidded on the slick surface and collided with a truck parked at the roadside."

There were five occupants in the ambulance, including the driver, at the time of the accident.

The deceased were identified as Dinesh Kumari (55), a resident of Kishangarh, Ajmer, and Vicky alias Veeram Singh (31), son of Govind Singh, both of whom tragically died at the scene.

The injured included ambulance driver Satish Dhamani (31), Amit Vaishnav (30), and Bithudas (60), who were initially taken to the Bagru Community Health Centre (CHC) and later referred to Sawai Man Singh (SMS) Hospital in Jaipur for further treatment.

Witnesses reported that police arrived promptly at the scene to assist in the rescue efforts before transporting the injured individuals to the hospital.

According to police, Bithudas was being transported to SMS Hospital in Jaipur for treatment when the collision occurred. In a cruel twist of fate, Dinesh Kumari, the wife of one of the deceased, and Amit's friend Vicky lost their lives in this tragic incident.
