An ambulance, while responding to a call using lights and sirens, is involved in a collision at an intersection. Witnesses sta
te that the ambulance slowly went through the red light without first stopping, resulting in a collision with a car. No one is injured, and the driver of the car is insured. Based on the witnesses' accounts of the collision, which outcome is likely to occur?
The ambulance driver may be responsible, taking in account the witnesses version of the events. They would mostly be found negligent because, even though emergency services vehicles have a right to ignore certain stops signs, this should be done in a safe way. Other than that, it would be a reckless act, and the driver of the car would have a right to profit from the insurance since we're talking about an insured event, not an insured person.
