**Tanker Collision on Jaipur-Ajmer Highway Sparks Explosions, Kills One**

*Jaipur, October 8, 2025* — A major incident occurred on the Jaipur-Ajmer highway on Tuesday night when a tanker truck collided with a parked truck carrying Liquefied Petroleum Gas (LPG) cylinders, triggering a series of explosions and a large fire. The tanker driver was killed in the incident, and one other person was injured.

According to officials, the chemical-laden tanker rammed into the truck, which was parked outside a roadside hotel. The impact caused the LPG cylinders to spill onto the highway, igniting and exploding. Over 40 cylinders detonated, with debris scattered for meters.

“Scrap of 42 cylinders was found around the area. They were all exploded cylinders. A total of 120 cylinders were safe. All of them were removed by the team of Hindustan Petroleum that followed all safety measures and protocols to sanitise the area,” said Jaipur Collector Dr Jitendra Soni.

The explosions were visible and audible from several kilometers away, causing widespread panic. Police and fire crews responded quickly, shutting down the highway to control the blaze. Deputy Chief Minister Prem Chand Bairwa surveyed the scene. Traffic has since resumed.

Eyewitnesses suggest the tanker driver may have been attempting to evade a Regional Transport Office checkpoint when the collision occurred. An investigation into the exact cause is underway.

This incident brings back memories of a similar tragedy in December of last year when an LPG tanker collision near Bhankrota resulted in 19 fatalities. Authorities are under pressure to improve safety measures on this highway.
