Yesterday, while I was walking back into work, I saw an ambulance come screaming towards me, from a few blocks away. As it headed towards the red light at the intersection nearest to me, they sounded that “blaaat” horn, as well as the siren, to make sure that everyone got out of the way and let them through.
Well, the driver of the Greyhound bus that was turning right onto that street must not have been paying attention. As the bus swung wide across the path of the ambulance, I thought I was about to see a crack-up of massive proportions.
I happened to be carrying a camera, and I was prepared to do my reporter duty, but the bus driver braked at the last second, and the ambulance was able to swerve over into basically the parking lane and get by.
A juvenile part of me, deep inside, was disappointed. Thanks, YouTube, for cheering me up!
(PS. According to the Internet, everyone involved in this accident ended up okay.)
UPDATE: Even better!!!!!
