My father met with a fatal accident on the 29th of january 2019 around 7:00 pm near the chandkheda zundal brts road. My father was an advocate who was driving back home on his two-wheeler (Suzuki access). As soon as he approached the chandkheda zundal brts stop, a stray cow jumped the fence of the bus stop onto the road and into the ongoing traffic. Sadly, my father's vehicle collided with the stray cow that resulted in his demise. My family and i are having to face a loss due to the same. My only wish is that a similar incident doesn't happen with someone else. My father was the sole-earner in the family and having lost him in such an incident is something neither o[censored]s can recover from.

My complaint is about the delayed services provided by the 108 ambulance. I agree that ahmedabad is now expanding and the traffic is hectic given all the road works, but an emergency service is provided on the basis of reaching at the right time. I fail to understand how such things continue to happen. Sadly, i've realised this flaw only after having lost a dear one. I do not wish for anyone else to go through such an ordeal. The 108 ambulance was called by numerous people at the site of the accident soon after it happened. However, the ambulance did not reach the spot for 25 minutes. There could be a number of reasons that caused my father's demise. However, this is one of the main ones that lead to it. My father did not receive the needed treatment in time and lost his life in the process.

It is heart-breaking to see that even though technology has advanced, our system continues to suffer with such fatal flaws. My father will never return to us but we do wish to see a resolution to such issues so that no one else loses a loved one.
