Kullu: two injured patients stuck in ambulance for hours behind landslide near Rahuli
Two road-accident victims from Pangi spent hours in an ambulance blocked by a landslide near Rahuli in Himachal's Kullu district before the road reopened.
Two injured people stayed in an ambulance for about three hours at Rahuli in Himachal Pradesh after a landslide blocked the road, according to Amar Ujala.
On Wednesday evening around 8 pm, a landslide near Gorana blocked the Sansari-Kilad-Thirot-Tandi road. At about 10:45 pm, a road accident near the Mindhal bridge in Pangi injured two people, who were taken to Civil Hospital Kilad and given first aid.
Their families arrived around 3 am, learned the road was blocked, and left at 5 am in an ambulance. The ambulance reached Gorana at about 7:42 am but could not pass. The patients remained in the vehicle until the road reopened at around 11 am. The BRO deployed three machines instead of two to clear it.
The patients reached the regional hospital in Kullu around 5 pm, and reports say they are out of danger.
