Question

An​ ambulance, while responding to a call using lights and​ sirens, is involved in a collision at an intersection. Witnesses state 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?

Answer 1

Answer: The ambulance driver may be responsible

Explanation:

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.
