I assume the driver was so absorbed her cell phone conversation she didn’t hear the siren or see the flashing lights.
@yaakov doe, you know what they say about people who assume things….ps, they’re called “accidents” for a reason.
Just a reminder, that emergency vehicles still need to stop at a red light. Once they determine it’s safe, they can go through the intersection.
Not necessarily for this case, but this is especially true with hatzolah cars who don’t have 360 degree light visibility.
