An Indian man who had been pronounced dead by doctors allegedly came back to life when the ambulance transporting him home to his family hit a deep pothole.
India’s pothole problem annoys and exasperates millions of people every day, and on occasion, it can cause serious injuries and even death, but according to the family of an 80-year-old man from Haryana, potholes can also be miracles in disguise.
Darshan Singh Brar allegedly owes his life to a pothole. The man had not been feeling well for days, and was pronounced dead after four days on a ventilator.
“My brother in Patiala informed us about our grandfather’s death, and he was getting him to Nising (roughly 100km away) in an ambulance for his last rites,” Balwan Singh, Brar’s grandchild told local media.
But then something strange allegedly happened while the ambulance was traveling to Nising.
Near Dhand, the car hit a deep pothole and moments later, Balwan’s brother, who was watching over his grandfather’s body, saw him move his hand.
He quickly checked for a pulse and, sensing one, alerted the driver to take them to the nearest hospital.
Doctors confirmed that Darshan Singh Brar was very much alive and referred him to a hospital in Nising, from where he was taken to the NP Rawal Hospital in Karnal.
His condition is still critical, but he is fighting for his life.
