Kota: A 40-year-old woman and her two children were killed on the spot and six others of the family sustained head injuries when the car they were travelling in collided with a tractor trolley on NH-148D near Durgapura village under Dablana police station in Bundi district late on Sunday evening.
The deceased were identified as Reena Saini, 40, wife of Rajulal Saini alias Rajesh, resident of Undaliya Ki Dingri in Bundi city, her daughter Krishna, 10, and son Keshav, 7. The three were killed on the spot.
Six others in the car, including Reena’s eldest son Rupesh,12, and two other children sustained injuries and were rushed to Bundi district hospital after primary treatment at the Hindoli community health centre, said Ramesh Chand, a sub-inspector of Dablana police station.
Police said at least nine members of the family, including five children and a driver, were returning to Bundi from Choth Ka Barwara in Sawai Madhopur district by car after attending a family function on Sunday night when the accident took place at around 9pm.
“The car collided head-on with the tractor trolley that was loaded with concrete. The collision was so massive that the tractor trolley overturned, and the car was completely damaged, and its occupants were stuck in it,” said Chand.
The tractor driver fled immediately after the accident, leaving the trolley overturned. Police said efforts are on to trace him. The injured people under treatment at Bundi district hospital are said to be out of danger.
