Karnataka ambulance accident today l Udupi toll plaza l Karnatak ambulance accident today full video:

 UDUPI: Four people died while an equal number were injured after a speeding ambulance rammed into the Shiroor tollgate under Byndoor police station limits on Wednesday. One of the injured is in critical condition.

The deceased were identified as Gajanana Naik (45), the patient, Manjunath Naik (40), Lokesh Naik (42) and Jyothi (32).

Three people died after a speeding ambulance skidded and crashed into a toll booth in Karnakata's Shiroor. The toll booth workers were clearing the way for the ambulance to pass through when the vehicle skidded off a wet road and crashed into the toll booth. The ambulance was going from Honnavara to Kundapur in Udupi district.

In a graphic CCTV footage, men who appeared to be toll operators are seen scurrying to remove three plastic barricades from one of the lanes.

The footage shows the ambulance was almost at the toll plaza when one of the operators manages to pull out the last barricade.

But then the ambulance tyres lost traction, skidded off the road and crashed into the toll booth cabin.

"Two people died on the spot and one died at the hospital. The ambulance lost control when it came near the toll plaza. We are verifying the facts. The ambulance belongs to a private hospital," an Udupi police official said.

Bengaluru: An ambulance carrying a patient and two attendants lost control and crashed into a toll booth in Karnataka's Udupi district today, killing all the three and a toll attendant. The driver was injured, the police said.

A CCTV camera at the toll booth shows the horrific accident on a wet road in the Karnataka coastal district where it had rained.

In the footage, some men who appear to be security guards and toll operators are seen scurrying to remove three plastic barricades from one of the lanes on seeing the ambulance approach.

The footage shows one of the guards successfully remove two barricades before the toll plaza. But the last barricade remains near the boom barrier, which a man manages to pull out, but only halfway.

By then the ambulance was almost at the toll plaza.

Suddenly, the ambulance - a large van - skids on the wet road and swerves towards the toll booth cabin.

The video clearly shows the ambulance had aquaplaned on the wet road after the tyres lost traction. Aquaplaning happens when the tyre tread can no longer dissipate water, leading to loss of control as the tyres would not touch the ground.
