Congress MP Priyanka Gandhi Vadra stopped her convoy on Saturday evening to help victims of a road accident in Eengappuzha, Kozhikode district. The accident occurred when two vehicles crashed into each other, one of which was carrying Noushad, a Koyilandy resident, and his family.

When she saw the accident, Gandhi stopped her car at once, called a doctor from her entourage, and made sure that the victims received immediate first aid. She also instructed the ambulance that was with her team to take the victims to a hospital nearby for treatment before continuing on her way.

A video released by her office depicted Gandhi interacting with the injured, inquiring about their condition. The Congress leader is on a three-day tour of her Lok Sabha constituency, Wayanad.
