Motorcyclist Booked for Blocking Ambulance in Bantwal
Imagine an ambulance with its siren on, rushing a very sick person to the hospital.
Near a circle in Bantwal, a person on a motorcycle didn't move out of the way.
Even though they could hear the ambulance coming, they kept blocking the road.
This made the ambulance late in getting the patient to the hospital in Mangaluru where they could get better care.
The police caught the motorcyclist and are taking legal action against him for causing this delay.
It's important for everyone to move aside for emergency vehicles like ambulances so they can help people quickly.
