User commenting on the reported road obstruction

“Your video, your argument — it could have waited for 2 minutes. But that ambulance couldn't. Inside that ambulance, someone's life is at risk. No family wants to see their loved one suffer or die inside a van just because we blocked the road for content.”

“This is not to shame anyone. This is just to say — next time please make sure you do the right thing ma'am. Give way to the ambulance first, everything else can wait.”
