The accident took place between 8:45 a.m. and 9:00 a.m. near the 200 Feet Bypass on Ajmer Road, outside a hotel.
The trailer ploughed into a family of five—a husband, wife, and their three children—who were waiting near a bus stop.
The three children died on the spot. The mother suffered fractures in both her legs.
