Bengal Ambulance Accident

A woman died at a railway station in West Bengal's Purba Bardhaman district after a hospital failed to provide her with an ambulance while referring her to a larger medical facility, police said.

In a tragic accident, as many as three people were killed and three seriously injured after an ambulance and truck collided near Jalpaiguri district last night.

To help save lives of road accident victims by taking them to nearby hospitals as quickly as possible, the West Bengal government will soon start a free-ambulance service, a senior official of the state health department said on Monday.

Three people, including a couple, were killed on Monday as a speeding ambulance lost control and knocked down a bike and a bicycle in West Bengal's Birbhum district, police said.

Following the backlash on imposing a blanket ban on non-ISI marked helmets, the Bengaluru City traffic police have decided to withdraw its drive on substandard helmets. The crackdown that was supposed to start from February 1, 2018, has been called off after the city traffic police asked for clarification from the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS).

Four people were burnt alive this afternoon when a truck rammed their ambulance and it burst into flames in West Bengal. The people killed were two doctors, a nurse and a pharmacist, travelling to a health camp nearby. The incident took place in Murshidabad district, 250 km from Kolkata. There were no patients in the ambulance.

Five persons accompanying a patient in an ambulance were killed when it collided with a truck in Nadia district, the police said.
