According to eyewitnesses, a stray camel suddenly appeared on the road, leaving the driver with no time to brake. The car collided head-on with the animal, severely damaging its bumper, bonnet, and windshield. The impact caused the camel to crash halfway into the vehicle.
Driver Injured, Taken to Hospital
Locals rushed to the spot and rescued the injured driver, Ram Singh, from the wrecked car. He sustained serious injuries and was taken to Jodhpur for treatment.
Camel Trapped for Two Hours
Reports suggest the camel remained stuck inside the car for nearly two hours before being freed. A JCB machine was brought in to carefully cut open parts of the car and release the animal. Miraculously, as soon as it was freed, the camel got up and ran away.
