In a tragic incident late Saturday night, an ambulance — a vehicle meant to save lives — turned fatal when it lost control and rammed into multiple motorcycles waiting at a red signal near Richmond Circle, killing a couple on the spot.
The accident occurred around 11:00 pm, when several riders had stopped at the signal. According to police, the speeding ambulance ploughed into the motorcycles from behind, colliding with at least three two-wheelers before coming to a halt after striking a nearby police outpost.

The impact was so intense that one of the motorcycles was dragged for several metres. The victims, identified as 40-year-old Ismail and his wife, Sameen Banu, who were riding a Honda Dio scooter, died instantly due to the force of the collision.
Two others sustained severe injuries and were rushed to a nearby hospital for treatment.
Authorities are investigating the cause of the accident, including whether the ambulance driver was speeding or lost control due to brake failure.
