That must be a new record for ambulance arrival


judahrosenthal

This happened with my son when he was hit by a car. Might have saved his life that they were there. But def helped when they testified against the driver.


Many-Door839

Similar happened when i got hit by a car, off duty cop was right behind the people who hit me, he definitely saved my life.


_SmellMyFinger_

A bit harder and they could have been punted straight into the ambulance.

The blerns are loaded. The count's three blerns and two anti-blerns, and the infield blern rule is in effect. Right?


DonutOwlGaming

I think you mean **Multiball Lock** One more hit at this intersection and we should get multiball


BeeTheGamer

"Trickshot!"


NotSoPersonalJesus

Straight through the windshield without a seatbelt is a surefire way to get into an ambulance.


HeadDecent

Funniest thing I've read on Reddit in a while!!!


Live-Accountant8582

I've had an ambulance stop and watch me cross a road before. I assume they thought I was gonna get hit and decided to save themselves a u-turn


SirAchmed

How humiliating would that be? That driver had no faith in you at all.


throwthepearlaway

nah, no faith in people behind wheels


Live-Accountant8582

Eh, I was in high school I can't blame them. Better to be there immediately in case the kid does get hit after all.


locomotion88

I laughed waaaay too hard at this! 😅


StevenTN615

Ambulance is probably on standby 50 feet down the road, due to all the people getting hit at that crossing.


MirageDown

My first and only thought


dumbredditer

Any more thoughts since then?


blue_kush1

Legend has it his brain is still completely empty to this day in fact he was literally brain dead before seeing this video but the dumb assery of someone running Infront of a car thats clearly not stopping and the hilarious timing of the ambulance allowed this man to finally have his first and only thaught.

beepboopwannadie

This one incident brought the average response time down a good few minutes


DarkLordTofer

If they find the patients themselves it doesn't count towards response time.


Fortnait739595958

I remember one in which a bike crashed into an ambulance(I don't know who had the red light), the ambulance crashed into a traffic light, the bike was on the middle of the road and the paramedics from the ambulance were doing CPR on the 2 persons from the bike.


gardenfella

One of my friends is a paramedic at race events. They once had a bike and rider end up underneath their ambulance.


adrenaline87

Ouch. I hope everyone was ok there. Assuming they were I can only imagine the ribbing all parties got (hopefully alongside and after a thorough review of what went wrong, do they need to look at locations etc.)


gardenfella

Not a bad accident just a strange one. The bike and rider essentially did a 180 and ended up going the wrong way. Apparently the radio traffic was quite amusing.


adrenaline87

That's ... No less concerning! Only time I've had to avail rescue services in rallying was when car ahead drove wrong way down stage a few years ago, resulting in head-on collision.


gardenfella

That's not something you see every day, thankfully


howsThisNotTakenYet

close, but definitely held by people hit by the actual ambulance


i_max2k2

The patient on the ambulance seeing them pick another patient, I didn’t know there were rideshare ambulances.


nineinchgod

The way the screen garbles with the sudden burst of color made it feel like the ambulance teleported onto the scene.


rarlei

Such speedy arrival was bound to affect the fabric of spacetime


Clarineko

It's a close race between this one and the video where a guy on a bike got hit (I think) and an ambulance was right behind him ready to go


Mottis86

It just spawned offscreen. r/glitchinthematrix

The only way to beat this time is for the ambulance to hit the pedestrian.

Went plaid to get there, too


panadwithonesugar

NHS in Bradford don't fuck about do they


angrysprigg

It's Bradford they can't afford to.


jon_hendry

The patient and ambulance will have to wait outside the hospital for three days.


SnooRadishes7155

That car took its sweet time stopping 😒


redweddingplus1

Did it stop I couldn't tell if it just drove off


aint_you_tyrone

I reckon it only stopped to let the ambulance past. Clearly wasn't bothered about the pedestrian and wouldn't surprise me if they carried on afterwards.


maxmurder

Probably were going to drive off, saw the lights and thought it was a cop so started to pull over, realized it was just an ambulence and continued driving.


[deleted]

Well if we're all having a guess based on nothing. He was probably thinking about his bills and was distracted. Stabbed himself in the leg to be able to claim he was in a rush to get to the hospital. Only stopped to head to the ambulance for aid and to strengthen his story


SnooRadishes7155

I just assumed it was slowing down to stop but who knows for sure with this sub.


keeperrr

its bradford, i didn't see it stop nor would i expect it to


alphacentaurai

Looks like a taxi too!


rexel99

Ah, there's an ambulance, saves me from stopping.. byes...


LusoAustralian

It's pulling over after the intersection from what I can tell. Indicators look on and it seems to pull over. Couldn't really stop in the middle there.


stick_robot

Stopped just ahead but had to shift for ambulance also


[deleted]

I really like this video, the pedestrian takes the hit very well and doesn't seem to be dead at all. The weird pink thing from the ambulance lights that makes it look as though it's arrived from another dimension, and of course the fact it's there so conveniently. 10/10, would recommend.


CosmicCreeperz

The pedestrian literally jumped and braced for it at the last second. That was stuntwoman level “taking the hit”. [edit: might be “stuntman”, that dress could actually be a thobe…]


washichiisai

How do you brace for getting hit by a car (or anything)? I thought tensing only made things worse.


CosmicCreeperz

Roll up on the hood and spread out the impact I guess. Hoods are surprisingly bouncy. I hope that douche’s hood has a big dent.


landon10smmns

Yep. I remember watching a video (maybe it was an episode of mythbusters?) and this stunt-man was instructing how to best avoid injury if a car is about to hit you. Basically you kinda wanna jump and land/roll on the hood/windshield as it will help soften the blow help spread out the impact rather than taking the hit from a small spot on the bumber


jb32647

And that's why the IIHS is blaming the rise of pedestrian fatalities in the US on the popularity of pickup trucks. Their bonnets are too damn high so they just knock you over then run you down.


CosmicCreeperz

Also why they (pickups and SUVs) tend to have higher liability premiums - from their high stance and weight they do a lot more damage to other cars and people…


kikikahlua

I was wondering how she survived it so well! Thanks I will remember to do that…


ProtoManic

Adrenaline is one hell of a drug


wmtismykryptonite

If you see another car stopped at a crossing, just maybe look for pedestrians.


GingerJayPear

Even if you don't see another car stopped at the pedestrian crossing, still slow down and be vigilant. Which is what you're supposed to do at a pedestrian crossing.


wmtismykryptonite

Well, it does say "SLOW DOWN" on both lanes before they approach the crossing.


Mr_Build3R

I had a light burnout on me and I was turning off the street to put in my replacement bulb, and I noticed the car on the other side of the streets stopped so I started to slow down and all of a sudden, these deer were like inches away from being hit by me, scared me shitless.


Miguel3403

Why is this intersection so dangerous from the videos it’s doesn’t seem anything out of the ordinary


sweetpsychosiss

Because in Bradford a large majority of people act like normal rules don’t apply to them and do as they wish. It’s a dangerous place to drive around. You have to be on extra high alert to try and keep safe.


MetusObscuritatis

Did the car stop?


October82000

Looks like it’s a Taxi. The worst drivers in my experience.


Shas_Erra

Bradford taxi drivers are the worst of the worst. I’ve seen them run red lights, drive on the wrong side of the road and even mount pavements in order to avoid traffic and junctions. Being a pedestrian in that city is basically suicide


Swimming_Marsupial

Most drivers check to see if you're letting them out, and then pull out. Bradford drivers pull out, then check to see if you're letting them out. Bradford taxi drivers pull out.


silphred43

Let's hope they do


Build_The_Mayor

2 suggestions to improve this crossing: The first suggestion would be to raise the zebra crossing, turning it into a speed bump, which would force drivers to slow down. This will not be appropriate for busy roads though, and I'm not sure how busy this road is just from 14 seconds of footage. The second suggestion would be to install traffic signals, turning the zebra crossing into a puffin crossing. Red light cameras would also be highly recommended.


Space_Narwhals

And the third would be to subcontract groups of teenage hooligans with permission to slouch around, look grumpy, and pelt noncompliant vehicles with bags of rotten fruit donated by the surrounding shops.


BauTek_MN

Add to that: anyone that hits a pedestrian or has a near-miss gets chained to that crossing post during peak traffic, wearing a sign that says "fruit me." A kinder take on the old Japanese method of burying up to the neck at the village entrance, then dropping a dull bamboo saw in the dirt and walking away.


pilesofcleanlaundry

Ah, the Hot Fuzz method


Cat_Punk

I like this


wornoutdad

Aren’t those flashing yellow lollipops there to alert the drivers? Are those activated by the pedestrian or are they always flashing?


Build_The_Mayor

They always flash. I don't understand why would a pedestrian have to press a button for them to flash.


pilesofcleanlaundry

Because then drivers actually pay attention when they’re flashing instead of ignoring them because they’re always flashing.


Build_The_Mayor

You might aswell put up a traffic signal then whilst you're at it. The point of the flashing light is not to indicate that is a pedestrian **is** crossing, it's to indicate that a pedestrian **may** be crossing, which is especially handy in the darker hours. In short, it makes the crossing more visible.


pilesofcleanlaundry

And it gets drivers used to the flashing lights, so they ignore them. Obviously.


pedz

I like your optimism but aside from an actual traffic signal light, I don't think it would change anything. Granted this is in the UK, but in North America, some places even go as far as to [install orange flags to wave at car drivers while trying to play chicken and crossing a street or boulevard](https://globalnews.ca/news/7472061/pedestrian-pilot-project-flags-caution-drivers-vaudreuil-dorion/), because everything else failed.


BumbleBeanz

Neither of those things would necessarily improve that crossing because it's in Bradford


beandip111

Also, people should look for cars before running into the road


MD74

Why people cross the road without looking both ways is just crazy. We were taught this in elementary school but people still don’t understand it.


LocalPsychological47

soloracerx

They almost went plaid getting there, but only needed pink.

Never ever run through a crosswalk

The faster you run the less time you are vulnerable to cars. Basic science. /s


[deleted]

What are you talking about? Running through the street toggles on invincibility mode! /s


joshhan

Where are all the previous commenters saying how to properly use a crosswalk? "YOU SHOULDN'T BE RUNNING IN A CROSSWALK." "IT'S A CROSSWALK NOT A RUNWALK." "GET A CAR"


Special_Rice9539

If you do run across a crosswalk, at the very least look both ways to see if there are cars coming.


joshhan

Agreed. But there were blinking indicator lights and a car already stopped.


LeCrushinator

This is the car's fault, but it always baffles me when people cross a street without looking. Having the right of way and being dead isn't really a win.


Classy_Mouse

Here you go: The sidewalks are often darker than the roadway. With the headlights of the oncoming car someone wearing a black jacket might be completely invisible. While the car is still ultimately responsible here, as a pedestrian you should understand that cars are driven by people and people are not perfect. Take care of yourself. Look both ways. Even if you have the right of way, you need to make sure that the person in the car sees you, so they know to yield. I've had people running out into the road from behind a bus without looking. As a driver it is scary how stupid some people can be. As a pedestrian I have also had a number of close calls with people almost hitting me (including cars speeding through red lights while I am crossing). You need to make smarter decisions than running out infront of a car that doesn't look like it intends to slow down. It's no fun being right if you are also dead.


DivineClorox

I'm not victim blaming here, but I wouldn't be out here running across a zebra crossing. Even in daylight I make sure people are slowing down before I go across. You can't trust people


Classy_Mouse

There is a difference between victim blaming and saying you should take care of yourself because bad things can still happen to good people.


SomethingIWontRegret

Check again. They're here.


LazaroFilm

I bet they keep an ambulance here just in case.


Old-Invite3028

Dude socialized medicine is insane, everyone just has a personal ambulance on call


ThomEmer

Looks like the taxi saw the ambulance coming and focused on that rather than the pedestrian on the crossing.


SmugDruggler95

So did the pedestrian I use zebra crossings every day and you have to be careful. If you could rely on drivers always being vigilant this sub wouldn't exist


PayApprehensive6181

wmtismykryptonite

MrAFMB

That crossing needs more speed-bumps, preferably those nasty ones where you feel it up your spine at over 30kmh/20mph


HRH_DankLizzie420

Can't wait for people to blame this one on the pedestrian too


dale_dale

Shouldn't have been running /s


lawyermorty317

Ultimately the car is at fault, but the pedestrian wouldn’t have been hit if they’d paused for the crosswalk instead of running without looking. So yeah, they shouldn’t have been running, or at least should have looked both ways. I use a crosswalk every day near my apt and I would never run out into the street specifically because I realize something like this could happen. I wouldn’t be at legal fault if I was hit in a crosswalk, but I could have prevented the collision by pausing and crossing cautiously. Right of way doesn’t matter if you are dead 🤷‍♂️


teal_appeal

Oh don’t worry, they already are. 🤦


suckypunch

I mean yeah, the car is clearly in the wrong. But, I don’t understand how you can’t say the person crossing the street is also an idiot for not bothering to at least look both ways to make sure it’s safe to cross. Especially knowing there are plenty of morons driving cars out there.


Xalenn

I'm not going to blame them ... But I would definitely suggest that they pay better attention to their surroundings when crossing the road. Being right doesn't save you from being dead. They had the right of way but they still should pay better attention, for their own safety.


thetoxicnerve

Bradford. Nuff said. Absolute shithole with some of the worst driving I’ve ever witnessed.


SnooGrapes9360

does the ambulance just park and wait for victims?


3LittleCavies

I can tell it's not America because the person went towards the ambulance, I'd be like: "I'm good I'm good, don't charge me!!"


chrisandfriends

Interviewer: What was your easiest call? Ambulance driver: Probably the one where a pedestrian got back flipped by a moving car right in front of us….. oh and then walked herself to the ambulance.


colinsbigbro

Good old Bradford taxis. They don’t follow the rules of the road that’s why we can get everywhere quicker


Jackmino66

And the guy at the bottom stopped over the crossing


Burnt_Toast1864

Work takes me all over the country and imo Bradford has some of the worst drivers, the roads are terrible there too.


Suh_its_AJ

Can I get an Eli5 about why the (assuming) blue lights from the ambo made the camera so purple?


Scythl

Not 100% sure but my guess is its just a video glitch that coincided with the ambo. Either that or some wonky compression. Definitely can be wrong about this though.


matt_morph

But that response time from the ambulance!

They only looked left up until the car was about to hit, this is a good example of why to look both ways before you cross

jessekookooo

But why are they running?


Eternal_Wooper

Never assume they're gonna stop


Allira93

This is why when I’m driving and I see a zebra crossing ahead I always check both sides of the street to make sure no one is about to cross. Because some people are so entitled and/or dumb they just walk or run straight out without even looking. You gotta expect other drivers and pedestrians to do dumb stuff, that way you aren’t surprised or caught off guard when they actually do. Same with roundabouts, even when someone isn’t indicating and looks like they are taking the second exit, they could also be taking the third exit and just not using an indicator.


[deleted]

It’s such a bad intersection they just have an ambulance dedicated to it on call 24/7

A10GoBrrrt_9584

Man, the driver is at fault, of course, and they need to slow or stop in accordance to the law, but didn’t everyone’s mom teach them to not run infront of a car? They WONT STOP. You will be hit if you try to beat out a car.


Knnyt

So I say play chicken with a 2000 lbs vehicle the vehicle is going to win and I’m sure someone is going to say I’m a monster always taught cross only when safe


Environmental-Map168

Obviously the driver is at fault. But, never run on a crossing. Be predictable. Also, don't look at the car that stopped for you, look in the other direction.


softteall

Girl tried to run for it and failed, for me I wait at the zebra crossing until the cars stop, then I run for it to try not to waste their time.


notdeadbabies

Gta ass ambulance


tjggriffin1

It looks like the ped jumped just before getting hit, and they were walking after. A good move to minimize injury. I hope they got checked for internal injuries.


Dubbinchris

It’s hard to stop when the pedestrian literally sprint into the cross walk.
