But with no ambulance being available and three to four auto rickshaw drivers refusing to help, the injured had to be taken to the hospital by my JCB machine.”

The accident reportedly took place in front of Pushpendra Vishwakarma’s shop.

However, this is not the first time such an incident has taken place. Last month, videos showed a pregnant woman being taken to the hospital on a JCB machine in the state’s Neemach district after the ambulance failed to reach the spot due to heavy flooding.
