A tragic accident on the Jaipur-Delhi highway near Daulatpura bridge claimed the lives of two men late Monday night. The victims were riding a motorcycle when an overspeeding dumper truck struck them from behind, crushing them to death. A third rider narrowly escaped with minor injuries after being thrown from the vehicle.

They stopped near the divider on the highway, waiting to cross the road, when the speeding dumper hit their motorcycle.
The deceased have been identified as Mahesh Kumar Gurjar (33) and his neighbor Kailash Yogi (40). Mahesh’s brother, Mukesh, who was seated at the rear, survived the crash.
