A terrifying scene of destruction unfolded on the streets of Jaipur late Tuesday evening when a speeding dumper truck went completely out of control, triggering a massive chain-reaction collision that left 17 vehicles severely damaged.
Chaos on the Road
The incident occurred near the prominent Jawahar Circle area, one of Jaipur's busiest locations, turning a routine evening commute into a nightmare for multiple motorists. Eyewitnesses described scenes of panic as the massive truck careened through traffic, hitting everything in its path.
The Aftermath
According to police reports, the destruction was extensive. The rogue dumper truck managed to damage:
- Multiple cars
- Several two-wheelers
- Other vehicles caught in the collision path
The most shocking revelation? The driver behind this dangerous episode was reportedly just 17 years old - a minor operating a heavy vehicle illegally on public roads.
Driver Flees the Scene
In a move that added to the gravity of the situation, the teenage driver abandoned the heavily damaged truck and fled from the location. Police have launched a massive manhunt to locate the absconding driver while investigators work to piece together the exact sequence of events.
Official Response
Local authorities have confirmed that the truck has been seized and is currently in police custody. "We are examining all aspects of this case, including how a minor was allowed to operate such a heavy vehicle," stated a police official involved in the investigation.
The incident has raised serious questions about road safety measures and the enforcement of traffic regulations in the Pink City, particularly concerning commercial vehicle operations and underage driving.
