With sirens blaring for no reason in the cordoned off square during a show: the police fine the driver of an ambulance

With sirens blaring for no reason in the cordoned off square during a show: the police fine the driver of an ambulance.

Sassari: at least two alternative and shorter routes to help a person who was at the end of via Roma, but the ambulance driver chose to pass anyway, with sirens blaring turned on shortly before, in the cordoned off area where the show “I Pagliacci” was taking place, in Piazza d'Italia. On the way, he didn't even give way to some pedestrians who at that moment had already started crossing on the stripes. For these reasons, after a few days of investigations, the local police of Sassari notified three reports to a voluntary association, with the deduction of 13 points from the driver's license e fine of over 800 euros.

According to what was reconstructed by the officers in via Carlo Felice, the man chose to pass through the closed area with a specific order communicated in time to 118 and through this to all the associations involved, disturbing the artistic performance in progress, scaring the over 900 people present and also risking causing injuries, although there were numerous even shorter and safer alternatives. The local police monitored the route, from the starting point to the place where the ambulance was supposed to arrive, and assessed, in addition to the alternative routes, the uselessness of turning on the sirens in that one stretch. The driver demanded that the barriers be moved and crossed the entire square at high speed, blocking the show, before exiting towards Via Roma.
