It is unfortunate that inspite of your telling them when Raj went up to the ambulance and still the Doctors were no where near the ambulance (while I went down and brought up both these people to the road side). He had to waste time in getting them to move. In any case he guided the ambulance back - I know kind of crazy against the rally traffic but the assumption was the following traffic would stop once they got to the accident spot and me and villager having stopped them - and then we came out of the stage behind the ambulance.
The guy had come out of the vehicle to rescue the lady navigator (who was stuck inside th car with broken forerm) and bees attacked him. We had to build a fire and smoke to clear off the bee's and then carry these guys up to the road side.
Were you guys called up for accident discussions at the stewards meet? |
We also noticed due to the villagers running towards us ... they were still some distance away but I added the suddenly no dust + villagers running on the road towrads us = gone off and asked driver to stop . I did get off , look down , jumped back in as we knew there was an ambulance in the section . They took time as they had to come against traffic which could have gotten disastrous .
It was a real freak accident as he went down on a straight stretch .. I mean he wasn't exiting as the exit was way behind or then the next corner was quiet a distance away . Also Im sure he wasn't pushing as my driver ( barely a driver - i used to sleep in the sections ) was not super fast but we still caught up not too far into the stage . So initially I though he burst a tyre or something but later noticed that all 4 tyres were also fine -- so kinda weird as to what really happened !!
I dont remember being called for any meeting or maybe we were at teh hospital ... I remember taking Hari and a few others from the Chd gang to the hospital as I knew where it was . It was a scary sight specially as the bodies had really really swollen up , till then I didnt realise how inflated one could get due to bee stings . Even his navi was in a bad state -- shock plus I think fractured arms .
Sad end to a gentleman from the rallying fraternity .. he was the oldest rallyist , I think he was 40+ at that time !!
Also I thought that the hive had gotten inside the vehicle while they rolled down , didn't know that he got out and then got attacked ? Were you there when he got attacked ?
