Techie Dies After Ambulance Stuck
In November last year, a 33-year-old software engineer from Bengaluru, Anand GR, injured severely after his bike skidded off late evening. He was immediately placed in an ambulance after the accident, but tragedy struck again before he could reach the hospital.
The ambulance got stuck under a “magic box” in Judicial Layout area. After trying to free it for about ten minutes, Anand’s pillion rider, Jeevan, flagged down a passing car and took him to Yelahanka Government Hospital. By then, Anand had already died, police said, reported The Times of India.
