Caught on camera: Shocking ambulance crash at Karnataka toll booth kills 4

Four people were killed on the spot and one person was injured in a shocking ambulance crash in Karnataka’s Udupi district. The crash, captured in CCTV camera at the Shiroor toll gate, shows the ambulance losing control on the wet road and ramming into the toll gate.

The ambulance was reportedly on its way from Honnavur to Udupi and there were eight people travelling in the vehicle.

The horrific footage shows toll operators running to remove barricades on seeing the ambulance approach. The toll operator almost managed to remove the last barricade when the ambulance lost control and swerved towards the toll cabin, hitting the operator.

The video 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.
