Next in the sequence of events, there was a shocking incident where a reckless driver caused an ambulance to crash into a ditch, resulting in a potentially life-threatening delay. The ambulance was on its way to an emergency, with its blue lights flashing, when the accident occurred. The impact of the crash caused severe damage to the ambulance as it tried to avoid a head-on collision with the other vehicle.
The dash cam footage from the ambulance captured the entire incident that took place on Friday, September 20th, on the A339 in Alton, Hampshire. In the video, we can see the South Central Ambulance Service approaching a T-junction, when suddenly, a white Ford Fiesta appeared from Spain Lane and cut right in front of the ambulance. It all happened in a matter of seconds, and the ambulance driver had to make a split-second decision to avoid a collision.
The two vehicles came dangerously close to each other, and there was a slight contact before the ambulance swerved off the road and landed on its side in a nearby ditch. The driver of the white car did not stop at the scene, as confirmed by the Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary. Thankfully, no one was injured in the accident, but it caused a significant delay in getting to the patient in need. Another ambulance had to be called to attend to the emergency instead.
The impact of the crash was devastating, causing over £26,000 worth of damage to the ambulance. As a result, it will be out of action for a month. The authorities are working on several leads to identify the driver and the vehicle involved in the incident. They are urging anyone with information or dash cam or CCTV footage to come forward and help with the investigation.
If you happen to be the driver of the white car or know someone who is, please contact the police immediately. Your cooperation can help bring justice to this unfortunate situation. The officers are also appealing to anyone who may have witnessed the incident or has any relevant information to come forward and assist with the investigation.
