The Heartbreaking Incident
Jhunjhunu Road Accident The accident occurred on State Highway 37 connecting Jhunjhunu and Guda. According to reports, a truck traveling from the Jhunjhunu side hit a motorcycle heading in the same direction. The truck was reportedly driving on the wrong side at a dangerously high speed, causing a violent impact that dragged the victim nearly 100 feet.

- Wrong-Side Driving: The truck was reportedly on the wrong lane, a major traffic violation that often leads to fatal accidents.
- Overspeeding: Witnesses estimated the vehicle was running at over 100 km/h, leaving the driver no control after impact.
- Hit and Run: After hitting the motorcycle, the driver fled the scene. Though locals managed to stop the truck, the driver escaped.
- Suspected Drunk Driving: Some witnesses suspected the driver was under the influence of alcohol.
- Total Disregard for Road Rules: Driving at high speed and on the wrong side shows a complete lack of awareness and responsibility.

Locals’ Courage, Authorities’ Delay
After the crash, locals rushed to help the victim. Despite the shocking scene, one man stepped forward to help and was heard saying, “This is not a dog, it’s a human being.” His words reflected the emotional trauma and humanity of those who witnessed the tragedy.
Slow Police and Ambulance Response
Residents complained that police arrived nearly an hour after the first call. The ambulance, too, refused to carry the body without police authorization — a standard rule, but one that added to the helplessness of the people.
An eyewitness said that when the police finally arrived, some officers told the crowd to “close your eyes” instead of showing compassion. This insensitivity angered the locals further.
The Victim: Still Unidentified
At the time of reporting, the victim’s identity had not been confirmed. Locals speculated he might have belonged to villages like Mewasa, Bipra, Ajadi, or Badagaon and was around 30 years old. People shared the motorcycle number and videos on social media, hoping the victim’s family could be located.
Their collective effort highlighted the community’s solidarity and humanity — a desperate attempt to help a stranger’s family find closure.
Jhunjhunu-Guda Road: “The Death Road”
