A tragic accident on the Jhajjar-Gurugram road near Pelpa village claimed three lives on Saturday evening. An ambulance, en route to Jhajjar with a CISF inspector, his wife, and their son returning from medical treatment, collided with a truck. The impact was severe, leaving the ambulance mangled.
The deceased have been identified as CISF Inspector Som Prakash (59), his wife Lakshmi (59), and the ambulance driver Pramod (35). Inspector Prakash had been undergoing treatment following an accident on August 30. His younger son, Preetam, has alleged negligence by the Jhajjar civil hospital, citing a lack of attendants and oxygen during the transfer of his parents to PGI Rohtak.
The couple's son, Pankaj, suffered multiple fractures and is currently in the ICU. Doctors report he is conscious and stable, with his vital signs being closely monitored. Police have registered a case against the truck driver, who reportedly fled the scene.
