If an ambulance is on its way to save someone, and it runs someone over, does it stop to help them??.

Hi there,
Yes, the ambulance would call into dispatch stating they are unable to complete the original call, and dispatch would then send another unit to the original call
Well, even when an ambulance is on an emergency call, it should still watch out for people and be careful. Unfortunately, sometimes accidents happen – and of course when that happens, they must stop and help! They’ll just get another ambulance to help the first emergency!
Hmmm, good question. I think legally the ambulance has to stop, otherwise it would be hit and run (and you would hope that any members of the ambulance service would have the natural instinct to want to stop anyway, even if they were on their way to a more serious incident).
There are always two people in an ambulance so at the very least one would get out and stay with the new casualty until their ambulance arrived whilst the other went off to the original casualty. I guess they would have to use their professional judgment to decide which person needed the most urgent care (difficult to say when they haven’t seen the original casualty yet!). Either way they’d have to call another ambulance to tend to the person they decided not to help!!
