A 25-year-old tribal youth, Sajeev Kumar, died after an ambulance carrying him was stuck in a traffic block at Kerala's Attappady ghat section for over an hour.
Kumar, who had been admitted to the Attappady Tribal Taluk Speciality Hospital with a high fever, was shifted to the Medical College Hospital in Thrissur for advanced treatment.
However, due to the traffic block caused by a fallen tree, the ambulance was delayed, and by the time Kumar reached the hospital, his condition had worsened, resulting in his death.
Police have initiated an investigation into the incident, and a case is likely to be registered soon.
