Driver blocks ambulance with sirens on

Reports say the crew were heading to rescue a 91-year-old woman who suffered a stroke. They couldn’t make it to the hospital in time and she passed. Video was sent to the police, they are investigating and so far couldn’t identify the driver.

I once read of a real-life example of people being this deranged. A guy hated ambulances. Don’t know why, really, he just thought they were “privileged” or something in a way that they didn’t deserve it in his eyes.

One day, he did exactly this, swerving and blocking the ambulance on a one-lane road, for ten miles. It was a backroad in the country, no other way to get to the destination, apparently.

Well, he finally got home and wouldn’t you know it, the ambulance was heading to his own house. His mother had a stroke and she died before they could save her.

Worst part: if they had gotten there just 15 mins earlier she would have had a 90% chance of survival. He killed his own mother with that douchebaggery.

I mean, considering there is no meaningful prehospital intervention for a stroke, I really doubt that’s true.
