Beltangady, Aug 22: A woman, who was critically injured in the ambulance accident that occurred on national highway near Vagga two days ago, succumbed to injuries on Monday August 21. The driver of the ambulance had died on the spot in the accident.

The deceased is identified as Mariyamma (80), wife of late Hassan and resident of Karnadoor village. The total number of people dead in the accident rose to two with the death of Mariyamma.

Mariyamma developed chest pain on Friday and was taken to private hospital at Guruvayanakere. After giving emergency treatment, the doctors advised to take her to Mangaluru for advanced treatment as she had blocks in her heart. Accordingly Mariyamma was being taken to Mangaluru when the ambulance driver lost control and crashed against roadside compound wall.

Mariyamma received severe injuries to her head. Though she was admitted to KMC hospital, she succumbed on Monday. Her son Razak, who was in the ambulance sustained fracture on his hand. Mariyamma is survived by one son and two daughters.

    THERE WILL BE NO LESSONS LEARNT -- FROM THIS ---- (While on one hand we can appreciate the Ambulance Drivers commitment - -sadly had died on the spot ---- and in the Call of Duty -----and the patient also now succumbed --A sad news -- -)-- But same time --- There should be some sort of regulation for Ambulances. -- In the process of trying to reach the patient at the earliest to the hospital they are a hazard on the roads -- AMBULANCE if well-equipped will have or should have-- all the necessary lifesaving equipment's -- so it can take care of emergency for a few hours -- it will be like an ICU -- Further patient is traumatized with high-speed driving -- vehicle swaying from one end to the other etc incl others in the vehicle ---- AS WAS THIS NOW DECEASED PATIENT ----

    Most Ambulances in India are only used for transporting patients and dead bodies , very few are equipped with life saving equipment and emergency trained personnel. None of the roads including the ones in big cities have dedicated ambulance lanes . Speed governors should be installed on these vehicles to prevent rash driving not only for the patients but also for others on the road.
