Jodhpur: Three people were killed in an accident which took place during the Maxperience Rally, Round 3 of the Champions Yacht Club FMSCI Indian National Rally Championship in Jodhpur on Saturday. The Rally has been called off due to the incident. The accident took place 150m from the finishing line when a motorbiker, carrying two others, came in front of the speeding car of ace Indian rallyist Gaurav Gill. All the three deceased were not wearing helmets and were on the track, even though a warning had been issued to them.

'Unavoidable situation'

"Everything happened within less than a minute. It was a blind spot. He [Gaurav] tried to stop the car, however, as there was a sharp turn the situation became unavoidable. Despite being warned, the biker forcefully entered the track," the organisers said. "We feel sad for the deceased people and express our condolences to their family members. We had all the safety measures at place and also had the necessary permission from the authorities," the organiser added.
