A tempo traveler carrying tourists from Mount Abu to Abu Road overturned after striking a road divider near Sirsi in Sirohi district, Rajasthan. The vehicle fell into a pothole on the roadside, causing injuries to six passengers, all of whom were identified as tourists from Gujarat. Emergency services arrived promptly, providing first aid and transporting the injured to the nearest hospital for treatment.
Preliminary investigations suggest that the accident was precipitated by the vehicle's collision with the divider, which may have been aggravated by the narrow, poorly maintained stretch of the highway. Local authorities have warned that haphazard parking and increasing traffic congestion along the popular tourist corridor heighten the risk of similar incidents, especially during the peak season.
The district administration has ordered an immediate survey of the road conditions and called for the removal of illegal parking spots that obstruct traffic flow. Officials also urged drivers to exercise caution and adhere to speed limits to prevent further mishaps on this heavily frequented route.
The injured tourists are reported to be in stable condition, and families have been notified. Police have registered a case of negligence and are probing whether any traffic violations contributed to the crash.
Authorities reiterated that safety measures, including proper signage and regular road maintenance, are essential to safeguard the growing number of visitors to the Mount Abu region.
