In that moment, Ford Transit Ambulance appear some mechanical problem on the steering gear,so all of the Transit need to out of service.The scene you see the Hiace is rental van for urgent usage. In fact Hiace also a standard Hong Kong Government Vehicle in that moment.
@idigghx You've got to remember though, one US dollar was HK$7.80. Therefore, $300,000 would be ~US$38,500. Which today's money would pay ~US$81,800. Quite a good price for ONE ambulance...
