Ambulance with patient stranded for 50 minutes in Gzb after crash with kanwar trolley
Pilgrims’ Protest Stalls Traffic, Cops Advance One-Way Traffic Plan
Ghaziabad witnessed a 50-minute traffic nightmare on Monday morning when an ambulance carrying a kanwar pilgrim became stranded on the Delhi-Meerut road after colliding with a tractor-trolley carrying fellow pilgrims. The incident occurred around 7 am as the ambulance, en route from a Muradnagar health center to Sanjay Nagar Hospital for a snakebite patient, brushed against the parked trolley.
Pilgrims, alleging damage to their belongings, blocked the road, causing a major traffic snarl. Despite police intervention, the ambulance could not move for nearly an hour, leaving the injured patient on board. The ambulance finally left the scene around 10 minutes after senior officers arrived. No injuries were reported in the collision itself.
The incident has led to a one-way diversion plan for pilgrims, with regular traffic being rerouted, affecting daily commuters significantly.
