Jaipur Crash News: A CCTV footage surfaced from Jaipur has revealed chilling moments before the horrific accident in the Harmada area that left 14 people dead and several others critically injured on Monday. The video shows a speeding dumper truck losing control and crashing into a motorbike before ploughing through vehicles and pedestrians on Loha Mandi Road.

The footage captures the dumper racing at a dangerously high speed down the busy stretch, unable to stop as it mowed down everything in its path. Within seconds, it smashed into cars, motorbikes and people before overturning due to the impact.

According to police, the accident occurred when the dumper, allegedly driven recklessly and suspected to be under the influence of alcohol, came hurtling from Road No. 14 towards the Loha Mandi petrol pump. It rammed into at least 17 vehicles, including scooters, cars and a trailer truck, leaving the area in chaos.
