Mini-bus overturns near Chaksu, 1 killed, 11 injured

One person was killed and 11 others were injured when a mini-bus turned turtle while trying to avoid hitting a stray animal on the Jaipur-Kota highway near Chaksu, about 40 km from here, in the wee hours of today.
The deceased was identified as 50-year-old Prahalad, police said, adding the 11 injured were rushed to SMS hospital in the state capital.
Twenty members of a family were on their way to attend the last rites of a relative in Indore in the mini bus when it overturned while trying to save an animal which came infront of the vehicle and driver could spot it only at the last minute due to darkness, they said.

In another mishap, an employee of Rajasthan State Road Transport Corporation (RSRTC) was crushed to death by a mini-bus.
The accident happened last night when the deceased was run over by the speeding bus, which later rammed against the Jaipur-BRTS poles on Sikar road.
A few passengers on the mini bus also sustained minor injuries who were later released after the first aid.
