CCTVs at the toll plaza captured the entire unfortunate event.
The visuals show two toll gate attendants rushing to the emergency lane -- one to clear the barriers placed on the middle of the road, while another tries to shoo the cow.
However, the ambulance speeds in and as the driver tries to avoid hitting the cow, it skids off the wet road before ramming into the toll booth.
Three people are thrown out of the vehicle due to the impact of the crash, while the cow miraculously escapes and walks away safely from the accident scene.
The ambulance driver, Roshan Rodrigues, who sustained injuries, told media persons: “There were emergency gates for vehicles (such as ambulances) and as I came across, the staff were removing the barricades and I saw a cow in the middle of the road. I applied brakes and the vehicle toppled after skidding.”
The incident happened at the Shiroor toll gate around 4.07 pm when the ambulance was proceeding to the Kundapur hospital from Honnavar with a patient named Gajanana Nayak (55), accompanied by his relatives.
Nayak’s relatives Manjunath Nayak (48), Lokesh Nayak (48) and Jyothi Nayak (44) died in the accident.
Nayak’s wife Geetha (50), friend Ganesh (50) and son-in-law Shashank Nayak as well as a toll plaza worker Sambhaji Ghorpade sustained serious injuries.
