    I think the story goes that the ambulance was driving towards a car containing the patient, and the car containing the patient was also driving towards the ambulance.

      It’s tragic but that is an infrastructure failure more than anything else.

      I’m my tiny country we have trauma helicopters for stuff like that. You should never get into your own car with stuff like that.

      Secondly how did it is to have a alarm line operator tell you to get into your own car to meet the ambulance half way. How did that work?

          No one here remembers them saying this in the post it seems, and no that death didn’t happen because someone wouldn’t get over. I’m not policing anyones actions here any more than saying “there is a standard procedure for this that could’ve also impacted the death.” Fwiw that person in the example pic here doesn’t have enough clearance to switch lanes at 70+ mph safely, which would be 6+ cat lengths and would be risking lives moving over.
