Birla's car hits escort vehicle

Jaipur: The cavalcade of Lok Sabha Speaker Om Birla met with a minor accident on Tuesday evening, when the vehicle carrying the Speaker rammed into the vehicle ahead. Police said that nobody was hurt in the mishap, which was caused due to some cattle suddenly appearing on the road.

Birla was on the way to Sridhar temple from Charbhuja temple in Rawatbhata in Chittorgarh district, when the accident took place.

According to the police, the accident took place at 4.12pm on Tuesday when Birla after offering prayers at Charbhuja temple was on his way to another temple, Sridhar Mandir which was nearly 200 metres away.

“The driver of the escort vehicle leading the cavalcade had to suddenly apply brakes, due to which other vehicles too rammed into each other. The driver of the vehicle carrying Birla too applied brakes, but the bonnet still hit the vehicle moving ahead of it,” said a senior police officer. No one was hurt in the accident. TNN
