Jaipur, October 13: Two people were killed and three others injured after a speeding ambulance collided with a truck on the Jaipur–Ajmer highway near Chhitaroli station in the Bagru area in Rajasthan, police said. The accident occurred around 2.30 a.m. after the ambulance skidded on palm oil that had spilled onto the road.

Confirming that the oil spill led to loss of control, Sub-Inspector Sher Singh Meena of Bagru Police Station said, "A palm oil tanker was parked near Chhitaroli when a gravel dumper coming from behind rammed into it. The impact caused palm oil to leak and spread across the road. Shortly afterwards, an ambulance coming from Kishangarh lost control after its wheels skidded on the slippery surface and crashed into a side truck parked nearby." Jaipur-Ajmer Highway Accident: Truck Carrying LPG Cylinders Catches Fire After Collision With Tanker in Dudu; 1 Dead, Several Injured (Watch Video).
