Ambulance in service collides with Porsche
Article Title: Ignoring the Sirens: The Shocking Tiergarten Crash
Hey there! Here's a juicy piece of news for you. Remember that 116,000 Euro Porsche that smashed into an ambulance last weekend in Tiergarten? Well, buckle up, because it turns out a 21-year-old was behind the wheel!
The incident occurred around midnight, at the intersection of Reichpietschufer and Potsdamer Straße. An ambulance from the Berlin Fire Department was speeding towards Potsdamer Platz, flashing its lights and blaring its sirens. But, apparently, our young driver wasn't paying attention. The ambulance driver even slowed down as he approached the intersection on a red light. Most drivers stopped, but not our 21-year-old in the flashy white Porsche. He blasted through the intersection on green, right into the ambulance!
The crash was a doozy. The Porsche's airbags deployed, and the vehicle careened across the intersection, slamming into a traffic light pole. The 21-year-old driver and his passenger were merely bruised. But the ambulance crew, a couple of seasoned veterans, weren't so lucky. They too sustained minor injuries. Everyone was taken to the hospital for further treatment.
Now, here's the kicker. Both vehicles were totaled and had to be towed away. Thankfully, there was no patient in the ambulance. The authorities are now investigating how this driver didn't spot the flashing lights and deafening sirens of the emergency vehicle.
Sources reveal that similar incidents have occurred elsewhere, but nothing specific to this Tiergarten crash has been found. So, while we can't confirm the reasons yet, possibilities include distractions, loud music, or simple inattention. But hey, that's just speculation. We'll keep you updated as more details emerge!
