September 26, 2026

Jaipur: Three people, including two MBBS students, were killed and two others critically injured after a speeding car collided head-on with a trailer on the Debari-Amberi National Highway in Udaipur on Saturday afternoon.

The accident occurred around 3:30 p.m. near the Ramdevji Temple in the Pratapnagar police station area. Police said a Honda City travelling from Debari towards Amberi first hit a road divider after the driver apparently lost control.

The car then crossed into the opposite lane and collided with an oncoming trailer. The impact mangled the vehicle and trapped its occupants inside.

Two MBBS Students Among Those Killed

Additional Superintendent of Police Umesh Ojha said all four occupants of the car were MBBS students at Pacific Medical College in Umarda, Udaipur.

The deceased were identified as Uday Bansal, a resident of Gwalior in Madhya Pradesh, and Ruchika Parihar, 25, from Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh. Police said a third person also died in the crash.

Efforts were underway to confirm the identity of the third deceased person.

Two Students Critically Injured

The injured include Shashank Singh, son of Lakshminarayan and a resident of Haryana, who sustained serious injuries and was admitted to a private hospital.

Another female student travelling in the car was also critically injured. Police said efforts were underway to confirm her identity. The condition of both injured persons was reported to be serious.

Residents and police personnel worked together to extricate the victims from the wreckage. The bodies were taken to the mortuary, while the injured were rushed to hospital.

Traffic Disrupted, Police Begin Probe

The accident caused significant traffic disruption on the highway, with vehicles queuing on both sides. Police deployed a crane to remove the wrecked car and trailer from the road, after which traffic flow was restored.

A preliminary investigation suggests that the car lost control, struck the divider and entered the opposite lane before colliding with the trailer. Police have launched a probe into the accident.
