SHIMLA: Three persons were killed and two severely injured when an ambulance transporting a patient from Jassur in Himachal Pradesh's Kangra district to Dayanand Medical College and Hospital in Punjab's Ludhiana plunged into a deep gorge in Manghuwal near Gagret in Una district in the early hours of Saturday.
The accident occurred halfway into the 200km journey. The ambulance driver lost control while negotiating a curve near a damaged portion of road in Manghuwal, police said. Roads across Himachal have taken a battering this monsoon.
