TANGERANG - Tangerang Regency Police Chief, Kombes Zain Dwi Nugroho said he would call the ambulance driver and Mercedes Benz (Mercy) whose video went viral. This is done to find out what actually happened.

"Tomorrow (Monday, March 21) we will call the driver of the car. Both the ambulance driver and the Mercy driver," Zain told reporters at the Tangerang Police, Sunday, March 20.

Zain explained that the purpose of calling the two drivers was so that his party would know the truth about the video of the ambulance crashing with Mercy.

"We will listen to their statements, because up to this day, all we know is from videos," he said.

In his opportunity, Zain said that this incident should be used as a lesson. Because the ambulance is a vehicle that must be prioritized.

"The public must also be sensitive to conditions where ambulances are carrying people's lives to be saved to hospitals," he said.

Previously, it was reported that a white Mercedes Benz luxury sedan was reported to have blocked the speed of an ambulance carrying a female patient to the hospital to give birth.

The Mercedes Benz driver did not accept the ambulance driver because his rearview mirror was grazed. The commotion lasted until the ambulance arrived at the Tangerang Regency General Hospital (RSUD).

When contacted, an ambulance driver named Hildan said that the incident occurred on the Tangerang-Jakarta toll road, Saturday, March 12, at around 02.00 WIB.

After the rearview mirror hit, continued Hildan, the Mercedes Benz tried to catch up and overtake the ambulance until it finally arrived at the Tangerang District Hospital.

"He was chasing and wanted to overtake, I just didn't give him because I was bringing a patient who really had to get to the hospital because he was having convulsions. He was also after oxygen," said Hildan.

Arriving at the hospital, still said Hildan, the sedan was immediately parked blocking the ambulance which was lowering the patient.

"Immediately barred. The driver immediately got off and got angry at me with harsh words, even I was about to be hit, I was pulled by the collar of my shirt with him," he said.

Luckily at that time there was security who intervened.

"I want the patient first. I sent down the patient who had to get surgery immediately. He was admitted to the hospital, after that my shirt collar was pulled and I wanted to hit it but was quickly dispersed by security officers," he said.
