Wow, I have never seen that before!

Good on the ambulance crew, its easier for them to get through because of all the livery and how big it is lol.

Nice video, right place at the right time.

5/5

fantastic vid! great action from the ambulance crew.

the ambulance MAY not have been clearing the traffic - it may have been called to a job, and then been cancelled. but clearing traffic seems the most obvious explanation.

thats the most dangerous thing to do ever!!!! When the ambulance hit the lights with all blazing the traffic watch the ambulance pass by, right? Then if the lights change to green traffic will go thinking the noise is from the ambulance which has passed and gone and instead there's a police car still on its way. I did green light driving for years for doctor medics etc and we were warned about more than one lot of 2 tones and how at junctions take extra time as its difficult to hear x2 tones!

I see this alot in lancashire too. Plus where ever possible, I will always cover a junction or roundabout for a vehicle on a blue light run.

@1alexwhittle1 This sort of thing happens often in London amongst different emergency services. At the end of the day, we're doing a similar job after all. Just thought you'd know. :-)

Awsome yelp.

Indeed well done ambulance :D

Yeah, the LED strobes are being scrapped (probably due to the flash and possibly causing seizures). You'll begin to see a more "steady" flash in the next year or so. Te new ones look like toy cars though...
