Even without the sirens, if the driver has been more aware of his/her surroundings, he/she would have seen the ambulance coming because of its lights. Just because the driver didn't hear the siren, doesn't mean it wasn't on. If a tree falls in an empty forest, does it still make noise? Just because you don't hear or see it doesn't make it so.

It was only a matter of time before people's complete disregard for emergency vehicles caused injuries again! I have almost been rear-ended then flipped off because I pulled onto the shoulder to allow an ambulance to safely go past me on a two-lane road. It's as if people don't realize it's the law to give ANY emergency vehicle the right of way when they have their lights and sirens on! Learn the laws of the road, put down the cell phones, and pay attention! You wouldn't want this to happen to YOU if you were in that ambulance; or if that firetruck coming to save your house became disabled at an intersection because of someone else's sheer carelessness; or your children murdered because some idiot didn't get out of that cop's path on his way to the burglary happening at your house!
