Accidental death of an Ex-Service men

Manu Sanker, who is an Ex-Service men aged 40 years, died following a bike accident near Mararikulam in Alappuzha, district. The container lorry which involved in the accident has left away from the place soon after the accident.
The important thing is to be noted in this incident that nearly one hour he was lying in the accident site with a pool of blood. The local people and the passengers passing through the spot have failed to take him to the nearby hospital, soon after the accident. 
The matter was communicated by some body to the Mararikulam Police station, but they didn't respond by saying that the accident spot is not within their limit. In their response the accident happened within the jurisdiction of Mannamcherry Police Station. 
Mr.Sumesh had taken initiative to take him to the General hospital and from there to Medical College hospital. As advised by the doctors, it was decided to shift the patient to a private hospital in Ernakulam District. But the employees of the ambulance "108" had informed them that they have not obtained necessary permission to move the ambulance vehicle to other districts. Finally, they had arranged another ambulance from Thiruvalla and shifted him to the private hospital in Ernakulam District, from where Manu Sankar was died. 
If Manu Sankar gets timely medical aid immediately after the accident, the death could not be happened. This type of attitude from the police and other responsible persons towards a person who had served for our country could have been avoided. 
Now a days, the number of accidents and number of accidental deaths have been increased drastically. 
The people always fearing about the procedures they have to be faced after taking an injured person to a hospital. Hence this type of procedures should be liberalized immediately and to conduct proper awareness campaign about this.   
Police Officials who didn't give timely attention to Manu should be punished and to inquire about the nonavailability of permission to the ambulance driver to move the vehicle to other districts. The authorities should look into the above facts for reducing the accidental death in future.
