Jaipur Highway Tanker Collision Death Toll Reaches 14, Over 28 Injured

JAIPUR: A tragic collision involving a tanker and multiple vehicles on the Jaipur-Delhi Highway has claimed at least 14 lives and left over 28 people injured. The accident occurred early Thursday morning near the Kishangarh area, when the tanker, carrying hazardous materials, lost control and crashed into several vehicles, including cars and buses.

According to police officials, the tanker driver reportedly lost control while attempting to overtake another vehicle. The collision caused a massive pile-up, with several vehicles engulfed in flames.
