Doctor dies in road accident in Dahod

VADODARA: A young orthopedic surgeon died in a road accident in Dahod district while returning from Madhya Pradesh around Saturday midnight.
The deceased, 32-year-old Rahul Labana, was returning to his home at Kathla village from Jhabua when he lost control over his car around 11.30 pm. Eyewitnesses told police that as Labana lost control of the car, it jumped over the divider and went down a roadside ditch before turning turtle.
The locals called 108 EMRI ambulance and also Labana’s family members. But Labana died at the spot after suffering grievous head injuries. The doctor’s body was later taken to the community health centre at Katwara where the post-mortem was done.
Sources said that Labana had a clinic in Jhabua too, and he must be returning home after winding up his work. Labana’s wife, whom he married around three years ago, is also a doctor and is currently expecting their first child. Before starting his own practice, Labana used to practice at a government hospital in Chhota Udepur.
