Urgent emergency doctor use: White sedan rams and flees

in Wiehl there was an incident on Thursday, which illustrates both the urgency of emergency operations and the dangers in road traffic. An emergency doctor who was traveling in a medical emergency was involved in an accident and has been endangered by the rash driving style of another vehicle.

Around 6:27 p.m. the 28-year-old driver of the emergency vehicle was on the west tangent from Gummersbach towards Wiehl with the blue light and Martinshorn on the west tangent. Their mission was of great importance because she had to rush in an emergency. At the driveway to the A4 towards Olpe, however, she met an unexpected obstacle: the traffic light was red for her. A white vehicle that came from the motorway exit initially gave the impression that it wanted to stop. But then the driver suddenly accelerated and collided with the emergency doctor.

The driver fled

Despite the collision, the emergency doctor managed to continue the car so that medical help was not affected. However, the driver of the white sedan had other plans: he fled and accelerated at high speed towards Wiehl. This action not only shows ruthlessness towards the emergency services, but also the potential dangers for other road users.

The fleeting vehicle is described as a white sedan. Information about the driver or the exact type of the vehicle is not yet known. After accidents, such escapes not only endanger the emergency services, but also the general feeling of security on the streets. Fortunately, the emergency doctor was able to continue relatively unscathed, but the question remains how many sufferers could exist if everyone involved acts in such a way in such a way.

The police have already started investigations and is actively looking for witnesses to the incident. The Transport Commissioner Gummersbach will take information on 02261 8199-0. The events in Wiehl symbolically stand for the challenges with which emergency aids are confronted and underline the need for safe traffic practices, especially when it comes to emergency vehicles.

Such a danger for the emergency doctor can and should not be accepted. At a time when quickly medical help can be decisive, the protection of the emergency services and the associated vehicles is of the utmost importance. The authorities appeal to all road users to drive with caution and respect to ensure security on the streets for everyone.
