According to police, at least 18 people lost their lives in the accident, while several others sustained serious injuries.

The victims were reportedly returning from Kolayat in Bikaner after attending a religious event when the accident occurred. The impact was so severe that the front portion of the tempo traveller was completely mangled, trapping many passengers inside.

Rescue teams and local police rushed to the spot and, with the help of locals, pulled out the injured and shifted them to nearby hospitals.

Chief Minister Bhajan Lal Sharma has also expressed grief over the loss of lives and directed officials to ensure prompt medical assistance to the injured.

"The loss of lives in the road accident in the Matoda area of Phalodi is extremely tragic and heart-rending. My condolences are with the bereaved families.

Instructions have been given to the district administration officials to ensure proper treatment for all the injured. I pray to the Almighty to grant peace to the departed souls and provide speedy recovery to the injured," Chief Minister Sharma wrote on X. Police have registered a case and are investigating the cause of the accident.

Sources citing officials said that both vehicles involved in the accident would be mechanically examined to ascertain the exact cause of the accident and also check for reasons such as brake failure or driver fatigue.

It is also suspected that poor visibility and the high speed of the tempo traveller might have contributed to the collision.
