An incident in Liuzhou, Guangxi, in which an ambulance was blocked by a private car, has caused great public concern. The incident occurred on January 7, when a private car drove out of the underground parking lot of the community but stopped on the road at the entrance of the community, blocking an ambulance carrying out a first aid mission, causing the ambulance to be unable to drive out. At that time, the ambulance staff in the ambulance was administering emergency first aid to a patient, but due to the blocked road, the ambulance could not reach the hospital in time, delaying the rescue time.
The ambulance driver got out of the car and tried to find the *** on the private car, but disappointingly, the private car did not leave any *** After waiting for about 10 minutes, the ambulance driver had to force the edge of the community flower bed to drive out, resulting in the ambulance being scratched. When the owner of a private car shows up, he doesn't realize that his parking behavior has caused trouble to others.
The aftermath of this incident sparked even greater controversy. According to the patient's family, the patient who was treated by ambulance happened to be their brother-in-law, but the brother-in-law unfortunately passed away that night due to the late rescue. The family said that although the brother-in-law had suffered a stroke before, it was not life-threatening. The ambulance was called that day because my brother-in-law was unwell, but medical assistance was delayed due to the parking incident.
The patient's brother-in-law, who is only 60 years old, is the breadwinner of the family and is raising his daughter and two grandchildren on his own. Every member of the family lives on his pension. The patient's family said that they would sue the owner of the property and private car in the community, demanding that the other party bear the liability for compensation.
In the legal field, some lawyers said that whether the owner of a private car is liable depends on whether the private car is illegally parked, and whether there is a direct causal relationship between the illegal parking and the death of the patient. If it is proved that the owner of the private car was at fault and caused the death of the patient, then the owner of the private car should be liable for the corresponding compensation. For the property, if they fail to clear the driveway in time, resulting in private cars parked indiscriminately, the property should also bear certain tort liability.
The public opinion on this event is very unanimous. Some people believe that the state should legislate to severely punish those who obstruct the performance of official duties by special vehicles, especially those who cause serious consequences, and should be held fully responsible. Some people also bluntly said that the owner of such a private car completely disregarded the safety of other people's lives and should bear the main responsibility. There are also people who are dissatisfied with the property, pointing out that the property is very proactive in collecting property fees, but it is difficult to see their personnel to solve the problem when it occurs. Therefore, the property should also bear the corresponding responsibility for this matter.
It is important to emphasize that although the incident has not been thoroughly investigated and confirmed, it cannot be determined whether the death of the patient was caused by the untimely medical rescue. However, drivers should drive cautiously and park their vehicles in a reasonable position when parking. In the event of a special situation, unreasonable parking behavior may lead to serious consequences. Therefore, this incident should serve as a warning to drivers who park their vehicles indiscriminately, reminding them that the road is not their home and that parking behavior should be treated with caution.
The incident in Liuzhou, Guangxi Province, where a private car blocked the road of an ambulance, caused strong public outrage, because it not only affected the timely arrival of the ambulance, but also caused a patient in need of emergency treatment to delay the treatment time and eventually passed away. The subsequent development of the incident sparked condemnation of the owners of private cars and the property of the community, and the family decided to sue them and demand compensation. According to legal experts, the owner of a private car should be liable for compensation if there is a direct causal relationship with the death of the patient, and the property should also bear tort liability for failing to clear the driveway in time. The public agrees that the state should strengthen legislation to severely punish acts that obstruct special vehicles from performing official duties. The incident also serves as a reminder to drivers to park cautiously and respect road rules to avoid similar tragedies.
