Four persons, including a woman, were killed on Friday when a container truck rammed into a car on the Jaipur-Delhi national highway in Jaipur rural area, police said.

A case was registered against the truck driver, who fled the spot after the accident. The truck was seized and efforts are on to nab him, police said.
