According to the sources, the accident occurred in front of Vishwakarma's shop on Khitauli Road. And the victim, identified as 25-year-old Mahesh Barman of Gairtalai village, fractured his leg and suffered serious injuries in the accident.

According to the JCB machine owner Pushpendra Vishwakarma, and a regional Janpad Panchayat member, the accident victim was refused help from several auto-rickshaw drivers. It would have been late if the ambulance had called from a nearby town. So, they decided to use the JCB machine to take the man to the hospital.

It is said that the agency handling the Dial 108 ambulance was altered, because of which the ambulance could not be delivered to the area.

As per the official, two ambulances were ready at the CHC in Barhi and could have been dispatched if the victim had been requested.
