In fact, Ansh, would probably not have survived had it not been for a stranger who took him to hospital when he was almost bleeding to death.
The Pintos were on their way to Goa for a vacation, when a truck jumped the divider and rammed in to their Wagon R near Chinchoti in Vasai. Said Ajay Talwar, Indu's brother, "Raymond, who took a direct hit from the speeding truck, was badly bruised as was my sister.
By the time I reached the accident spot, just 10 minutes from my house, Ansh had already been taken to hospital. We could not even thank the man who saved my nephew."u00a0u00a0
Doctors, who are treating Ansh at the Kokilaben Dhirub-hai Ambani Hospital said, "He is under observation and we are monitoring whether he is bleeding internally."
Raymond's uncle, Salvador Pinto, said it was now up to the police to nab the truck driver, who is absconding. The deceased were laid to rest in Sacred Heart Church in Andheri last evening.
