    4 dead as ambulance crashes at toll booth in Karnataka
    According to reports, a patient, two attendants, and the driver were all killed in the collision.

    Digital Desk: Four people died and four were injured after an ambulance lost control and crashed at a toll booth in the Udupi district of Karnataka.

    The ambulance was reportedly carrying a patient and two hospital attendants.

    Meanwhile, the video of the incident, caught on a CCTV camera, showing the ambulance crashing into the toll booth, has gone viral on social media.

    The driver died as well, as the car slid on a damp Udupi road and crashed into the toll booth. One is reportedly in a critical state.

    The workers at a toll plaza can be seen hurriedly removing barricades from one of the lanes when they notice an ambulance approaching in the footage.

    In the video, two barricades in front of the toll booth are successfully taken down by a guard in the video. The final barricade next to the toll booth was moved by a different guard.

    The ambulance skids on the slick road, does a 180-degree turn, slams into the worker and the booth cabin, then flips over just as he is able to remove the final barricade.

    A patient, two attendants, and the driver were all killed in the collision, according to a report.

    It may be mentioned that the video was shared by a doctor on Twitter.
