Police hunting down Myvi driver who blocked ambulance’s path on Federal Highway
SHAH ALAM: Police are searching for the driver of a Perodua Myvi which deliberately blocked the path of an ambulance at the Federal Highway here.
Selangor police chief Datuk Seri Abdul Samah Mat said the driver is advised to turn him or herself in, and not wait until cops come knocking on his door.
"We are investigating the case. Police will trace the identity of the driver and call him or her up, to facilitate our probe.
“I urge this driver to come forward voluntarily,” he said during a press conference at the state police headquarters here earlier today.
A video clip depicting the incident made its rounds on social media earlier this week.
The two-minute and four-second footage, recorded from inside the ambulance, shows the Myvi driver cutting into the path of the emergency vehicle and refusing to give way.
The ambulance’s siren could be heard blaring during the incident.
Besides swerving in between other slow-moving vehicles, the Myvi driver also illegally used the emergency lane of the highway.
At one point, the Myvi driver almost caused the ambulance to crash, when he or she made a sudden lane change into the emergency lane.
