At least 12 people killed as fireball ignites tragedy in Jaipur crash horror

Hindustan Times  

A catastrophic chain of events unfolded on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway early on Friday when a truck crashed into an LPG tanker taking a U-turn, triggering a fireball that engulfed close to 34 vehicles, killing at least 12 people and leaving several more battling for their lives with severe burn injuries, while 14 people were unaccounted for. “The Jaipur-bound tanker was coming from Ajmer and tried to take a U-turn from the highway to move towards the Agra Road”, said Jaipur Police commissioner Biju George Joseph. It looked like a ghost town with burnt trucks, and vehicles standing everywhere on the highway and the cry for people asking for help could be heard at every part of the town”, said a fire officer from the Bais Godam fire brigade, which dispatched five vehicles to the scene. “The death of the civilians due to a massive fire broke out from a tanker on the Ajmer-Jaipur highway is a disheartening incident”, he said.
