Tempers flare after ambulance, bus crash
By Iana Seales
A smash-up involving an ambulance and a minibus at the corner of North Road and Orange Walk yesterday boiled over into a heated row between the two drivers.
The ambulance was at the time transporting a patient in critical condition but according to reports the patient was later rushed to the hospital and is in a stable condition. There were no reported injuries.
Eyewitnesses gave conflicting information based on what they saw with some insisting that the ambulance had its siren on and others saying they heard nothing. The minibus driver, who was proceeding west along North Road, was adamant that he heard no siren while approaching the junction while the driver of the ambulance that was heading north along Orange Walk maintained that he followed the rules and kept the siren on.
