DID NOT GIVE WAY TO THE AMBULANCE RESPONDING TO THE EMERGENCY
The incident occurred a few days ago in Küçükçekmece. A driver traveling on the road did not give way to the ambulance responding to the emergency, and when the ambulance driver persistently sounded the siren and horn, the ambulance driver began to reverse down the street.
