A pregnant woman was killed and three others were injured when an ambulance taking her to hospital hit a tree in Malda district early today.
SDPO (Chanchol) Abhishek Majumder said the ambulance was taking Najdi Bibi (20), who was in an advanced stage of pregnancy, her mother-in-law and elder sister to Malda Medical College and Hospital.
The pregnant woman was referred to the Malda hospital by doctors of Harischandrapur Block Primary Health Centre.
But the ambulance hit a tree at Kagia More near Samsi on NH-81.
When the three and the driver were brought to Malda Medical College and Hospital, Najdi Bibi was declared dead on arrival, the SDPO said.
While her mother-in-law and sister were admitted at the Malda hospital, the driver was shifted to Kolkata as his condition was critical.
