Three persons were killed and three others injured after a speeding truck rammed into a stationary private bus on the Jaipur-Ajmer National Highway near Dudu in Jaipur district early Monday, police said.
The accident occurred in the Mokhampura police station area when the bus, heading to Jaipur from Chittorgarh carrying about 20 passengers, developed a mechanical fault after its axle broke down, prompting the driver to park the vehicle on the roadside.
A truck coming from behind hit the stationary bus, killing Madhuraj (30), Rahul (29) and Sataram (30), the bus driver, who were standing near the bus, police said.
Three injured persons were shifted to a nearby hospital, they said.
