PDO Driving Advice - Ambulance RTA
A PDO ambulance taking a patient from Yibal to Ibri was speeding at 135 km/hr on a blacktop road when a defective rear tyre blew out causing the vehicle to roll over 4 times. The patient who was not strapped to his bed was violently thrown out of the rear doors fracturing his spine and pelvis. The other 3 occupants suffered an array of injuries.

Take your time when driving - speed is a killer. When tired stop and rest. The driver was on his second long trip of the day but only because he had returned early by speeding on his first. Your tyres are the only contact with the road - if they are unsafe then dont drive. Make sure everyone in your vehicle wears his seatbelt when the vehicle is moving.
