Three of the victims, including an eight-year-old child, died on the spot, while a woman succumbed to her injuries at a hospital, police said. The child has not been named, in line with the protection of a minor's identity. Bhaskar English also reported the crash, describing the four killed as family members travelling home on one motorcycle, and Vartha Bharati reported three of a family among the four killed.

The group was travelling home to celebrate Diwali together when the accident occurred, police added. No further official details — including the exact spot of the collision or the condition of the Bolero's occupants — had been released in the reports available at the time of publication.

The Jalore crash was among a series of fatal road accidents reported across Rajasthan over the Diwali period, a time when festival travel sharply increases traffic on district highways. Police have repeatedly appealed to drivers to slow down and avoid overloading two-wheelers during the festive rush.
