Speeding Car Kills Father, Daughter in Jaipur; Driver Detained
Late at night in the city of Jaipur in India, a very fast car hit a family riding on a motorcycle.
The father and his daughter were hurt so badly that they died right away.
The mother and her young son were hurt very seriously and are now in a hospital getting care.
The car driver tried to drive away after the accident, but the police caught him and are asking him questions.
The police think the car hit a few other vehicles too, and they are checking whether anyone else got hurt.
The police do not yet know the names of the father and daughter who died, and they are working to find out who they were.
The injured mother and son are being treated at a special trauma centre in SMS Hospital.
This sad accident happened after another terrible crash in the same region where three women from one family died.
Road accidents like these show how dangerous roads can be.
A speeding car hit a family on a motorcycle in Jaipur's Sanganer area around 12:30 a.m. late Sunday night, killing the father and daughter on the spot.
The mother and son sustained serious injuries and were admitted to the trauma centre at SMS Hospital.
The car driver allegedly fled the scene but police intercepted the vehicle near Haldighati Gate on Tonk Road; the driver has been detained and is being questioned.
The car reportedly also hit a scooter and another motorcycle while travelling between Sanganer police station and Sangasetu; police are checking whether those riders were injured.
Police have started efforts to establish the identities of the deceased father and daughter; ACP Mukesh Choudhary confirmed the accident.
