In separate cases, five people were admitted to the casualty ward of Sassoon hospital last night with head injuries. A 75-year-old farmer was also admitted to the casualty ward with severe head injuries after being assaulted by his cousins.
It was a hectic night for the casualty medical officer (CMO) Dr Sunil Zope at Sassoon hospital as five accident cases were rushed into the ward between 9.30pm and 10 pm with head injuries. Narayan Shankar Chaudhari (75) was the sixth injured to be admitted to the ward last night.
Of the five road accident cases, 55-year-old Rukhmini Ghorpade, a resident of Hadapsar, fell down from a PMPML bus while getting off near her residence. She succumbed to the injuries at 10.30 pm during the treatment.
Mayur Gurav (24), is said to be in a serious condition. He fell after his bike skidded at Yerawada. He was sent for a CT scan soon.
Ramesh Namdev Bidwe (40) was hit by a heavy vehicle at Warje Malwadi while crossing the road at Kothrud. Zope informed his condition was also serious.
Jaiprakash Shrikrishna Mishri (45), a resident of Hadapsar, and Dattatraya Dange (45) from Barshi were two more accident victims brought to Sassoon. Both of them met with accidents at Hadapsar and in Barshi respectively.
According to Zope, Chaudhari may have sustained internal bleeding. "We will reach at some conclusion only when the CT scan report is out," he said.
