Siren....Ambulance...Screech

We were on the way to SIB as we were late for our regular Calvary Church service and something disturbing happened.

As we passed the traffic light just before Westin Hotel heard a siren....which just get louder by seconds. Tried to figure where the ambulance or police car was....behind us or above on the flyover. Glanced to the rear mirror and saw in surreal details, an ambulance with flashing lights knocked into the front of a dark green Proton Saga just at the traffic light. Almost in slow motion the front bumpers of the proton flew and then the ambulance crashed into traffic pole.

First thing that flashed in my mind.....gosh I hope that there was no patient in the ambulance as I could see the ambulance really bumped & skidded before it stopped; still be the siren screeching. I am quite sure the ambulance driver must have taken a pretty back knock.

Did not stop as I was already 300metres away & there were a number of cars at the junction who had stopped to help.

Don't really know how that happened but a few logical things one must do when you hear siren....look around & be aware of the surrounding. Do not impede the ambulances/police cars but similarly do not make sudden movements which might just be as disruptive (at the very least). WeiWen was much affected by accident....& similarly I almost missed the car park entrance.
