Wow... That's a lot of speculation on everyone's part. You're all wrong - the medics had a critically injured patient on board that day, and were rushing to the hospital. The police were right behind them due to the nature in how the patient was injured. The helicopter? Was because incident drew media attention immediately.
@angelanihilation lol we don't have to come to a complete stop, and actually we can go through red lights and interssections quite fast, but still driving safe!
@EnjoyFirefighting well yeah of course we can run them and hardly ever do stop completely but cmon, not stopping at all? thats just ASKING for trouble... haha
REAL STORY:" A Toronto man's problems were just beginning when he was shot in the head Friday in Scarborough.
Video captured by the CTV helicopter revealed the man's harrowing journey as paramedics tried to transport him to the trauma unit at Sunnybrook Hospital.
After the victim was collected by an ambulance, and while emergency service workers tried to save his life on the way to hospital, the vehicle collided with a motorist who failed to stop."
"Video shot in September 2006. The ambulance was enroute to hospital with a shooting victim on board. No one was seriously hurt as a result of this crash. The shooting victim continued his trip to the hospital in another ambulance."
Not stolen...
The paramedic driving is at fault. In Canada, lights and siren do not give you the right of way. Traffic laws can only be disregarded when it is safe to do so. Since they crashed, clearly it wasn't safe....
@emr911 Actually emergency vehicles running code 3 (lights/sirens) have the right of way. Although this is the case, emergency vehicles must drive with extreme caution (slow/stop) at intersections before proceeding, etc.
@danbeb No one HAS the Right of Way, you must GIVE Right of Way to anyone in an emergency. This applies to all vehicles on the road, not just emergency vehicles.
@cptdd Realize how all the other cars stopped? The car who crashed into the ambulance failed to hear and see the ambulance. Simple as that, and incompetence at its best.
They are both at fault. The citivilian failed to yield to an emergency vehicle, and the ambulance failed to come to a complete stop at a red light (based on how the vehicles were stopped it appears as though they had the red) as required by the Highway Traffic Act.
@bg1379 Everybody else managed to stop. I don't know about you but when I see vehicles stopped at green lights I slow down because they are obviously stopped for a reason. At least 8 other vehicles had yielded and this guy didn't even slow down. For whatever reason that driver failed to hear the sirens of 2 emergency vehicles. There are visual and audio warning signals for a reason. My guess is that the driver was distracted in some way; cel phone, car stereo or whatever.
We do not see those vehicles until the accident is definitely going to happen, so we have no idea how quickly those other cars stopped. And I'm sensing that you have a lack of an understanding of basic physics. This ambulance likely has a 100V siren, which would have had to go through TWO rows of cars and pierce a vehicle traveling 60 MPH (road noise!) to be heard. As everyone has said here, it absolutely can not be expected that he was heard. And, visually, through two rows of cars..
@bg1379 The ambulance was travelling nowhere close to 60 MPH. There are two sirens mounted on the grill, each at 100W, which utilize the wail, yelp and piercer patterns, and are designed for urban traffic. The ambulance was well clear of other vehicles and this driver had more than enough time to attempt to slow down. His car never slowed. I drive an emergency vehicle and see this on a regular basis. If the driver was more attentive, like everyone else around him, he could have avoided this.
@ffryan In an emergency, emergency vehicles (police cars, fire trucks and ambulances) aren't required to stop! It's an emergency lol, yes the ambulance drive should have seen this guy wasn't stopping, and should have slowly went through the intersection, but he isn't required to "come to a complete stop"
@inlandprosound2000 In Ontario, Canada, where this took place, emergency vehicles are required by the Highway Traffic Act and the Ontario Ambulance Act to come to a complete stop at red lights and to proceed when it is safe to do so. The civilian driver was in the wrong but so was the paramedic driver for failing to come to a complete stop as required by law.
@inlandprosound2000 You are completely wrong. In an emergency any emergency vehicle is required to stop at EVERY LANE of travel at a red light. That means if an ambulance, fire apparatus or police cruiser is going through a road with two lanes of travel on each side they need to stop not once, not twice, not three times but four times before they are completely through. Granted, we don't do this, but if you want to get technical, its required.
Ambulance was at fault; the car should have given way but the ambulance has red lights and siren on. Ambulance has the responsible not to proceed until it is safe. Most of the time the ambulance after they have loaded a person up and is transporting they turn off the noise makers. It put a stress on the victim. That takes away the right of way to the ambulance.
@shreair786 It looks a lot different from above than it does from the driver's perspective. The driver has a green light, the line of cars at the left turn and the line of cars the ambulance is driving through muffle the siren (if it was even on since this is a police chase, not an ambulance run) and also hide the ambulance. How do I know this? It happened to me once with a police car, though I managed to stop in time.
Canadians, Americans and other nationalities. We are all just humans and I don't see the point in labels in this case. There are probably just as many "dumb ass" Americans as there are "dumb ass" Canadians.
I think the only reason why there was a helicopter recording it was the that ambulace was stolen and... you can guess the rest.... those things happen....
@AirsoftRaccoon Long story short, guy stole ambulance, chopper was following ambulance and the car he hit was actually an undercover cop that saved the day.
I agree with jordangray why was there an news helicopter following this and as closely as it was it was like the cop chase shows and guess what they got there hot clip. Kinda not a big impact. I'm sure if there was a mexic in back he got bounced around a bit. A lot of times here in California we take fire fighters with us on the code 3 ( light and siren to the hospital) ins so there could have been multiple people bounces. It was still strange we don't have heli chasing us with a camera and if
I don't mean to be so blunt but this video's description IS CORRECT. I remember this incident on CTV very well because the reporters were shocked when the accident happened.
No, historyphilo757 is right. It was on WWPC, like he said. It was a stolen ambulance, why else would the chopper be following it? Whether it happened in Canada or not, don't remember that.
if youre gonna steal an emergency vehicle, why the hell would you steal an ambulance? they're like the kardashians of the emergency vehicle world. they're slow and carry disease...
@texaswildcat2000 if you an emt your a professional driver which means everything is your fault, and where I work in California if you run a red light at more than 15 mph (which he was) and crash the accident is automatically your fault, California has very few accidents like this because of laws like that....its all about knowing your protocols and what you can get away with
@Suprchkn It is ilegal to run a red light no matter what speed. Ussually volunteers with blue rights do not have the right of way, lawfully. But people usually yield to them. Any official vehicle (Usually red and blue lights) have the right of way with the law, you are required BY LAW to yield to them, when their lights are flashing or sirens blazing.
@geekinthepink580 In California you can run them at 15 mph, remember it varies from state to state, most ambulance companies have policies that say you have to stop at every red light
As a volunteer EMT-B, it is unbelievably frustrating when people drive like this. If this ever happened on a call that I was on, I would let the idiot bleed out.
@mtfr866 Why don't you learn protocol and priority first? If I am transporting a trauma patient, my first priority is him. I call in another BLS unit and continue to the hospital. My first priority is my current patient, not the dumbass who thinks he can blow through an intersection to beat an emergency vehicle. I let another unit handle him. Fortunately he'll probably die before they arrive; evolution at work.
1 thing I wish for is for that ambulance to be empty and to nail that fuckbag 3 times harder than it did. Blind bitch! Some drivers just refuse to pay attention with their music loud, iPhone in the txt mode and a dick up their ass
@xtornado47 It should be the driver of the car. When you hear sirens coming into an intersection, you either stop or move to the right. You don't barrel through the intersection.
The ambulance driver should have stopped and made sure the intersection was clear. Those red lights and siren DO NOT give you the right to just blow through an intersection.
@Firedogg637 even as we slow down at most intersections, we also go quite often over the red light without slowing down; and the only accidents with responding emergency vehicles in the last 2 years was an accident with the command unit and another with engine 2: in both cases it wasn't the fault of the emergency vehicle driver (one car pulled into the left lane right in front of the Engine, the Command was hit by a car driver that came out of a parking garage)
Actually, it does because you don't know the patient's status. He could have been severly injured and needed to be rushed to a hospital fast. If they had stopped at red lights, he would not have received the medical attention needed and could have died. Same thing goes with all emergency vehicles. They need to get there fast because it could be a matter of life or death.
@Firedogg637 Where did you learn your driving? Emergency vehicles always have the right of way. And he did slow down BTW. He should have used his airhorn though.
@emlee0203 I know they teach different things in different places but i was taught that by driving lights and sirens you are just asking for the right of way, and you are NOT inherently just given the right of way....and if this were to go to court (assuming an EMT was driving and not some guy in a stolen ambulance) it would have been the EMT's fault for not clearing the intersection
@Suprchkn747 If that was a legit ambulance call, the driver of the car would have been found at fault in this case .. there was enough time for the car to have seen the ambulance..in fact, once the car was in the intersection, they still didn't see it quick enough to stop in time, which could have been VERY possible if they were even paying attention to their surroundings..but alas, few people pay attention to anything at all except their radio and their cell phones, even when they are driving..
@emlee0203 .....and i don't care how critical my patient is, my goal is to go home at the end of the day to my family, which is why i never run red lights at more than 5 mph
@Suprchkn747 Yeah, see it's illegal to not yield to an emergency vehicle, and as long as the EMT who's driving gives enough warning ahead of time with the sirens and the air horn a few seconds before he gets to the intersection, he has the right of way.
@emlee0203 Even if the ambulance does have right of way that does NOT mean the other drivers will give him the right of way, hence why its a good idea to come to a complete stop at a red light.....as we all know from experience we should all stop at red lights incase some idiot blows threw the intersection because some idiot usually does blow threw the intersection
@emlee0203 he never said anything about "right of way," he said you don't have the right to "blow through an intersection," if every EMT blew through red lights there would be a lot of dead EMT's
I think that somebody stole the car because there wouldn't be another reason an ambo would run a red light without checking and have a cop car on there back like that
This is not an ambulance rushing someone to the hospital - it was a pursuit on World's Wildest Police Chases. Someone stole the ambulance and the police were chasing him with the helicopter in the air. The pursuit ended when he crashed and was apprehended.
@HistoryPhilo757 World's Wildest Police Videos began in 1998 and ran for three seasons, comprising a total of 36 episodes. Despite being officially cancelled in 2002, new episodes were only aired until 2001.
This was filmed 2006 and is in Canada You would think someone with the name HistoryPhilo would have the facts before throwing out rubbish
@HistoryPhilo757 I was watching this live on CTV. They were following the ambulance to the hospital after it was carrying an injured person from a high priority shooting scene. The reporters were shocked when it was broad sided by a Honda Prelude. The paramedic inside treating the gun shot victim was injured from the impact. Whoever put this or said this was on World's Wildest Police Chases is misinformed. The footage is from a CTV News Chopper.
@MrCTS04 The police officer following the ambulance is standard protocol here in Ontario when someone is involved with a serious criminal offence (victim or suspect). Usually, the police car is the lead. And if this was a police chase, you would see a felony stop done by Toronto Police with multiple cruisers.
Welll... The ambulance was just entering the intersection to fast...

@mtfr866 Why don't you learn protocol and priority first? If I am transporting a trauma patient, my first priority is him. I call in another BLS unit and continue to the hospital. My first priority is my current patient, not the dumbass who thinks he can blow through an intersection to beat an emergency vehicle. I let another unit handle him. Fortunately he'll probably die before they arrive; evolution at work.

@xtornado47 It should be the driver of the car. When you hear sirens coming into an intersection, you either stop or move to the right. You don't barrel through the intersection.

The ambulance driver should have stopped and made sure the intersection was clear. Those red lights and siren DO NOT give you the right to just blow through an intersection.

@Firedogg637 even as we slow down at most intersections, we also go quite often over the red light without slowing down; and the only accidents with responding emergency vehicles in the last 2 years was an accident with the command unit and another with engine 2: in both cases it wasn't the fault of the emergency vehicle driver (one car pulled into the left lane right in front of the Engine, the Command was hit by a car driver that came out of a parking garage)

@Firedogg637
Actually, it does because you don't know the patient's status. He could have been severly injured and needed to be rushed to a hospital fast. If they had stopped at red lights, he would not have received the medical attention needed and could have died. Same thing goes with all emergency vehicles. They need to get there fast because it could be a matter of life or death.

@Firedogg637 Where did you learn your driving? Emergency vehicles always have the right of way. And he did slow down BTW. He should have used his airhorn though.
emlee0203 8 months ago
@emlee0203 I know they teach different things in different places but i was taught that by driving lights and sirens you are just asking for the right of way, and you are NOT inherently just given the right of way....and if this were to go to court (assuming an EMT was driving and not some guy in a stolen ambulance) it would have been the EMT's fault for not clearing the intersection
Suprchkn747 8 months ago
@Suprchkn747 If that was a legit ambulance call, the driver of the car would have been found at fault in this case .. there was enough time for the car to have seen the ambulance..in fact, once the car was in the intersection, they still didn't see it quick enough to stop in time, which could have been VERY possible if they were even paying attention to their surroundings..but alas, few people pay attention to anything at all except their radio and their cell phones, even when they are driving..

@emlee0203 .....and i don't care how critical my patient is, my goal is to go home at the end of the day to my family, which is why i never run red lights at more than 5 mph
Suprchkn747 8 months ago
@Suprchkn747 Yeah, see it's illegal to not yield to an emergency vehicle, and as long as the EMT who's driving gives enough warning ahead of time with the sirens and the air horn a few seconds before he gets to the intersection, he has the right of way.

@emlee0203 Even if the ambulance does have right of way that does NOT mean the other drivers will give him the right of way, hence why its a good idea to come to a complete stop at a red light.....as we all know from experience we should all stop at red lights incase some idiot blows threw the intersection because some idiot usually does blow threw the intersection
Suprchkn747 8 months ago
@emlee0203 he never said anything about "right of way," he said you don't have the right to "blow through an intersection," if every EMT blew through red lights there would be a lot of dead EMT's
Suprchkn747 8 months ago
I think that somebody stole the car because there wouldn't be another reason an ambo would run a red light without checking and have a cop car on there back like that

This is not an ambulance rushing someone to the hospital - it was a pursuit on World's Wildest Police Chases. Someone stole the ambulance and the police were chasing him with the helicopter in the air. The pursuit ended when he crashed and was apprehended.

@HistoryPhilo757 World's Wildest Police Videos began in 1998 and ran for three seasons, comprising a total of 36 episodes. Despite being officially cancelled in 2002, new episodes were only aired until 2001.
This was filmed 2006 and is in Canada You would think someone with the name HistoryPhilo would have the facts before throwing out rubbish

@HistoryPhilo757 I was watching this live on CTV. They were following the ambulance to the hospital after it was carrying an injured person from a high priority shooting scene. The reporters were shocked when it was broad sided by a Honda Prelude. The paramedic inside treating the gun shot victim was injured from the impact. Whoever put this or said this was on World's Wildest Police Chases is misinformed. The footage is from a CTV News Chopper.

@MrCTS04 The police officer following the ambulance is standard protocol here in Ontario when someone is involved with a serious criminal offence (victim or suspect). Usually, the police car is the lead. And if this was a police chase, you would see a felony stop done by Toronto Police with multiple cruisers.
