A rashly driven dumper truck ploughed into at least 17 vehicles, leaving 13 people dead and 10 injured in Harmada area in Jaipur in Rajasthan on Monday afternoon.
Bodies were strewn across the road; mangled cars lined the highway; and several motorbikes were crushed under the dumper's wheels following the horrific chain collision that occurred near Loha Mandi when the truck, whose driver was allegedly under the influence of alcohol, ploughed into these vehicles on a 300-metre stretch before crashing into a trailer.
