Jaipur, May 13, 2025 — A tragic road accident occurred late Sunday night on Jaipur-Agra Road near Purani Chungi in the Jamdoli area, when a private bus traveling from Eidgah (Jaipur) to Bareilly (Uttar Pradesh) crashed into a passenger auto-rickshaw from behind. The collision resulted in the death of two individuals on the spot, while three others sustained serious injuries.
🛑 Accident Details and Casualties
According to initial reports, the bus departed from Eidgah in Jaipur and was passing through the Transport Nagar tunnel when the accident occurred. As the vehicle approached the Purani Chungi junction in Jamdoli, it rear-ended an auto-rickshaw carrying passengers returning from a private event in Kanoata.
The impact was so severe that the auto flipped over, causing immediate chaos at the scene. Local residents rushed to assist and alerted emergency services.
