A speeding car crashed into a crowd of wedding guests in Jaipur, injuring about a dozen people.

In Jaipur, a tragic incident occurred during a wedding celebration when a speeding car lost control and drove into a group of people dancing. According to local police, the accident happened on Saturday night near Damodarpura, in the jurisdiction of the Bassi police station. The driver attempted to overtake another vehicle that was part of the wedding procession but lost control, causing the car to crash into the crowd.

Many of the injured, which included several women, were transported to the local sub-district hospital by other attendees using ambulances and private vehicles. Police reported that while some victims received primary treatment and were discharged, those with more severe injuries were referred to Sawai Man Singh Hospital for further care. The event has raised concerns over safety measures at public gatherings, especially those involving large crowds and vehicles.
