The ambulance was carrying a newborn child from Perumbavoor when the white car bearing registration number KL 17 L 202 overtook it near the Rajagiri Hospital at Aluva. Photo: ScreengrabKochi: The driver of a car, who was detained after he refused to give way to a speeding ambulance ferrying a critically ill child, has come up with a weird explanation for his callous behavior.
Aluva native Nirmal Jose told the cops that he was trying to prevent other vehicles from coming in the way of the ambulance by piloting it through the traffic.
The ambulance carrying the child to the medical college in Kalamassery was delayed by the car for 15 precious minutes. Nirmal is likely to loose his license.
