In a shocking incident, an ambulance skidded off the road and later submerged into the river Chenab near Ganpat Bridge in the Doda district of Jammu and Kashmir (J&K).
As per the reports, an ambulance which was parked with no persons on board, accidentally skidded off the road and fell into the Chenab river near the famous Ganpat bridge in the Doda district of the eastern Jammu division.
The incident reportedly occurred on Saturday, July 2, morning when the driver parked the ambulance for washing the vehicle and got off the vehicle when it suddenly began to move in the backward direction and the driver was unable to get control of it.
Because of the slope, the ambulance moved downwards across the road and fell into the Chenab river.
The situation could have been different and grim had there been anyone in the ambulance when the incident occurred. It is pertinent to mention that since no person was inside the ambulance when it fell into the Chenab river, no casualty has been reported in the incident.
Notably, the Doda police have taken up the matter and along with State Disaster Management Authority (SDMA), and an operation to pull out the submerged ambulance is being carried out.
