JAKARTA – The incident of ambushing an ambulance again occurred. Sofwan, an ambulance driver, revealed that his trip was hampered when he picked up a critical patient on Sunday, October 31 at around 13.30 WIB, on the Cibubur Toll Road to Jakarta.

"Yes, sir, at that time I wanted to pick up the patient. An elderly woman is in critical condition in the Upper Menteng area”, said Sofwan when contacted on Monday, November 1.

Sofwan said that that day (Sunday 31 October) he received a call from someone who asked him to pick up a patient at Menten Atas, South Jakarta to be immediately taken to the hospital because his condition was critical.

Sofwan said the ambulance he was going to take departed from Cibubur, on Rawa Ilat Street, so it took about 30 minutes to get to the patient's pick-up point.

"I told you, from my place to the location about 30 minutes. But the patient said it was okay. Yes, I will pick you up immediately", Sofwan explained.

Rushing to Menteng Atas to pick up the patient, in the middle of the road Sofwan was stopped by a silver sedan with number B 1741 KBH.

“I am in a hurry because the patient is critical. But on the road the sedan didn't want to pull over, I've honked the horn many times”, said Sofwan.

The video of the ambulance car ambush finally went viral on social media with the @kamerascene account. In the video, the ambulance initially runs without a hitch, but suddenly a sedan appears from the right and cuts the ambulance line. The sedan didn't want to pull over, it looked like it was blocking it even though the lane to the right was empty.

“No commotion continues. He was just trying to block it. But I focus on picking up critical patients”, Sofwan concluded.
