**Headline:** Speeding Audi Causes Fatal Crash in Jaipur, Leaving One Dead and 16 Injured
Panic erupted in a bustling neighborhood of Jaipur late Friday night when a speeding Audi lost control, crashing into pedestrians and roadside vendors. The incident, which occurred near Kharabas Circle in the Journalist Colony area, resulted in one fatality and at least 16 injuries, creating a scene witnesses described as “sheer chaos.”
The luxury vehicle initially struck a road divider before veering sharply onto the sidewalk, where it barreled through carts and makeshift stalls for nearly 30 meters, devastating everything in its path. Eyewitnesses reported that the car was traveling at a terrifying speed, prompting screams and frantic attempts to escape. “People screamed and ran for their lives,” one witness recounted, noting that the toll could have been much higher had bystanders not managed to scatter in time.
The impact overturned more than a dozen carts and kiosks, and a parked car was struck with such force that it flipped over, highlighting the severity of the collision. The normally crowded area was left littered with debris, broken carts, and injured victims calling for help.
Police teams from the Muhana and Journalist Colony stations quickly arrived at the scene, transporting all injured individuals to local hospitals. Twelve victims are currently receiving treatment at SMS Hospital and Jaipuria Hospital, while four others were discharged after receiving first aid.
Muhana Station House Officer Gurubhupendra Singh indicated that preliminary investigations suggest reckless driving as a likely cause. “The Audi was being driven at a very high speed. There is a strong suspicion that the driver was under the influence of alcohol,” he stated. The vehicle has been seized, and a comprehensive investigation is underway.
The incident has drawn the attention of senior state officials. Rajasthan Chief Minister Bhajanlal Sharma has instructed city officials and hospital authorities to ensure that the injured receive proper and timely medical care. Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa visited the crash site and confirmed that four individuals were inside the Audi at the time of the accident. “One person died after being crushed by the car. One of the occupants has been taken into police custody,” he added, assuring that treatment for the injured is ongoing.
Authorities have reported that the accused are residents of areas near Jaipur. Further actions will be determined once the investigation, including medical and forensic reports, is completed.
