Rewa, October 23 (IANS) At least three people died and several others were injured in a collision between two tractor-trolleys in Madhya Pradesh’s Rewa district.
The incident took place on Wednesday night in Amba village, about 35 kilometers from Rewa district headquarters.
The victims were residents of Sir N.1 village under Gangeo block.
Rajput Saket alias Kallu, one of the relatives of the victims, told IANS that two people, including one of his cousins, died in the incident.
“The condition of at least four injured people was critical as they were on ventilator for the last 10 hours at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital. Others have suffered minor injuries,” Saket told IANS on Thursday.
Of the four serious patients, two have been referred to Jabalpur Medical College and Nagpur for further treatment.
The Saket family was going to celebrate the birth of a son, which turned into mourning.
He told that they were going to Sirmaur to attend a ‘Barhon’ (birth of a child) function for which they had hired a tractor from the village.
“As soon as we reached Amba village, a tractor coming from the opposite direction collided with our tractor trolley and people fell on the ground,” Saket said.
He told that at least 25-30 people were sitting in the tractor trolley, while the other tractor coming from the opposite direction was loaded with wood for the construction of the building.
After receiving the news, police reached the spot and took the injured to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital (SGMH), about 30 km from the spot.
Chief Medical Officer (CMO) Saurabh Goyal said that 12 injured were admitted to Sanjay Gandhi Memorial Hospital, out of which the condition of four is critical.
Two serious patients have been referred to Jabalpur Medical College and Nagpur for surgery, while the rest are being treated at Sanjay Gandhi Hospital.
