One Dead After Old Tree Collapses Outside BJP Office in Ahmedabad’s Khanpur

A major accident was reported in Ahmedabad on Wednesday night after a massive years-old tree suddenly collapsed outside the BJP office in Ahmedabad’s Khanpur, trapping vehicles underneath and injuring two people. One of them later died at the hospital.

According to officials, the incident occurred on the main road outside the BJP office, where several vehicles were parked.

Rescue & Hospitalisation

The huge tree fell on the vehicles, leaving two people injured. One of them sustained serious injuries and was shifted to a nearby hospital by a 108 ambulance. However, he succumbed to the injuries during treatment.

The other injured person also received medical treatment.

Upon receiving information about the incident, local police and two emergency rescue vehicles from Shahpur Fire Station rushed to the spot. Rescue teams immediately launched an operation to free those trapped and remove the fallen tree.

Traffic Chaos

The collapse completely blocked the busy road, disrupting traffic in the area. To prevent congestion, police diverted vehicles to alternate routes while firefighters used cutting equipment to remove the tree's branches and clear the obstruction.

Authorities are continuing the clearance operation to restore normal traffic movement. The exact cause behind the tree collapse is yet to be determined.
