Jajpur: Three persons, including a woman patient, were killed while two others sustained critical injuries after the ambulance in which they were travelling rammed into a truck on NH-16 near Badachana in Odisha’s Jajpur district on Saturday night.

According to sources, the accident took place when the 108- ambulance was ferrying the woman patient from Balasore district headquarters hospital to SCB Medical College and Hospital in Cuttack. The ill-fated vehicle hit the truck after the driver of the truck lost control over the wheels after one of the tyres burst.

The deceased have been identified as patient Gitanjali Pradhan of Bhogarai area in Balasore district, ambulance driver Bhaskar Sahoo and pharmacist Hemant Kumar Badi.

Fire service personnel had to use a gas cutter to rescue the injured, identified as Gitanjali’s husband Shiva Shankar Pradhan and helper Pradip Kumar Nayak, from the mangled ambulance. They were then taken to Badachana hospital and later shifted to SCB.
