For once, the traffic police’s crane tried matching an ambulance’s speed. Their sirens sounded identical, so Vijender Prasad, who was on ventilator support inside did not know what transported him to the hospital, the ambulance or the traffic crane.
The 19-year-old met with an accident while riding a bike on the outskirts of Bhongir town on Friday. He rammed a truck on a curvy road and suffered a severe head injury. His friend riding pillion had minor injuries. The duo was without helmets.
“The accident took place around 4 p.m., and he was rushed to the Bhongir Area Hospital. From there, he was taken to Srikara Hospital in Medipally, where he was referred to Yashoda Hospital,” said his cousin G. Narsimha, who was with Vijender in the ambulance from Medipally to Secunderabad.
