As someone who lost my grandma to a heart attack because I didn’t get her to the hospital fast enough.. I hope they drop her charges. Any half decent child would do the same if someone was dying in front of them, let alone their mom.
Instead of calling an ambulance? What if that high speed chase exasperated her medical situation? I understand the situation but it doesn’t excuse what was done?
All it takes is one unsuspecting car on the road and the next chapter of this story is involuntary manslaughter charges with a high probability of conviction.
@@Curtis69213that can happen in an ambulance too. Not everyone is in the presence of mind when this type of situation is happening.
Sorry for your loss😢 RIP grandma.
@@Cappadoccia04ambulance driver is trained and have been through situation this plenty of times. Plus, ambulance have the right of way, other cars will more likely to stop for ambulance than a random girl traveling at dangerous speed. You don't see an ambulance swerving in and out traffic at dangerous speed
@@nyankanakittylol you obviously don’t drive. More people block as ambulances and fire trucks than any other emergency response vehicle. Americans are selfish and just feel like they’re the most important thing.
My mom got a fine for speeding when she realized I had a stroke. She went to the police station to pay the fine and said i don’t care about that fine, my son needed to go to the emergency room. The officer said keep the money and he’d do the same for his kids. Even I’m disabled now, this probably saved my life. Thanks mom ❤️
Your mom is amazing ❤
Tell us what else never happened
Tickets are paid to the court, not police station.

I did the same thing when my husband was having a heart attack. Luckily we made it to the hospital in time without being stopped. He was 38 and passed when he turned 60. His heart finally gave out. 😢
Okay
My teacher's daughter ended up crashing her quad on a camping trip. My teacher was previously an RN who knew what it looked like to be internally bleeding. She rushed her to the truck and then to the hospital at over 100mph. She also called it in stating she wouldn't be stopping until she got to a hospital and would like an escort. She got that escort and her daughter is still alive today because of it
Hope he had a good life
Dislocated my shoulder and broke my collarbone on orcas Island, although it's literally an unpopulated island for rich vacationers, in the hospital was less than a mile away that's 3,000 bucks.
Not a single car on the road, I don't even remember them using their lights or the ambulance noise.
My mom fell down the stairs and broke her arm and was in a lot of pain. But unfortunately we knew we couldn’t afford the ambulance so we had to make the decision to drive. While this might not be their experience, a lot of people have to make this decision. Harsh reality in America.
A broken arm is NOT a life threatening emergency, so you have no need for an ambulance or driving 100mph, lol
@@mackhavoc477 her bone was sticking out of her arm and she is old. So yeah….. it was pretty serious. Guess you had to have been there 🤷🏾♂️
It cost my father $2,000 for an ambulance to drive him less than 2 miles to the hospital. Just glad the mom and the daughters are okay.
all an uber next time
Why are you so cheap?
I’m still in debt because it cost me 2500 to drive 2.5 miles to a hospital when I collapsed and couldn’t walk
u. s. a is world third country.. In the end China will be world superpower
Depending on what state your in It would probably be at least a thousand But in Okc Ok you can pay an extra $3.65 on our water bill the ambulance is free. They started it a few years ago.
Have someone in the car call 911 on the way to hospital and explain to dispatch the situation so they’re aware of it. Unfortunately the way things are, a speeding ticket is more affordable than an ambulance
Yup. But over emotional people especially teenagers don't have that kind of foresight or logic
True. Ambulance is so expensive. So sad. Indeed speed tickets Is nothing compared to ambulance fee
And how about the lives of the other drivers they put at risk ?
There appeared to be no other vehicles on the freeway in the video clip shown.
@@sorbabaric1 we are talking about sad reality that ambulance is so exprensive. I myself will not call an ambulance although i know i have a private cover, i am just worried that my insurance will at the end will find an excuse not to cover me because they cost gem in Australia. I might just call an uber if no ones around and i go for labor lol
My mom taught me never to speed UNLESS I’m driving someone to the hospital. Glad no one was hurt.
There were 3 people in the car at least. The person not driving or having the medical emergency could have called 911 and told the dispatcher that they were being chased by police but that they were going to the hospital. So easily avoidable.
Usually when someone’s hazards are on, I just immediately think something’s up and move over. Glad they are both okay.
I was thinking that. Usually, in my country, whenever someone has hazards on its an emergency and police nearby will sometimes clear the road if necessary. I don't know why the police didn't consider that.
I constantly see vehicles with hazard lights on and the driver is unaware. Yesterday on the freeway there was a car behind me with the hazards on for nearly 30 miles.
@@rumblefish9It seems a bit naive to think there is always a legitimate emergency every time someone turns on their hazard lights.
@@SeanHenderson-gn8if eh regardless I just move away from them lol
@@izerigau3555 well not in my country, drivers are thought to give way to ambulance and hazard cars no hesitation people just give way, and you can't really abuse that because people will remember your car and traffic enforcers waits in traffic lights and patrol areas there's really no reason to block other people who are in a rush we don't use it for stupid things like late for school/work, I guess they don't teach that to you guys
If only an ambulance was affordable (update: wow seems I struck a nerve 👀)
And quik
yeah 57% of Americans have $1000 or less in savings and the average ambulance ride is about $1200.
@@crypticnomad1200?? I'm thinking around 2500
@@crypticnomadI paid like $87 for mine. The ride is cheap, depends on the treatment and medications that are administrated during the process.
Ambulances aren't cheap anywhere. Not in the US neither in Pakistan. Average charge for an ambulance is 10000 pkr while average salaries are 40k pkr.
My mom had a stroke one time so we call 911 saying we’re driving her to the hospital and rushed her to the hospital and the cops gave us a fast escort there, it was pretty cool
My son-in-law did that for my child and she don’t have any signs of a stroke! God is so good! 🙏🏾
These higher up and rich people don’t realize how much it cost to call an ambulance and it’s disgusting and inhuman if you really expect people to call an ambulance make it affordable. Absolutely disgusting.
…and now days, if the neighborhood is bad, they may not show up!
Come on!!! Not everything has to be social justice. There are thousands of videos of BMWs and Mercedes and Audis getting pitted. Chill out.
@@Unspun417That’s not the effing point. This is about our absurd asinine “healthcare” system that gouges people to the nth degree.
Start your own low cost budget ambulance service. Your motto can be "Low cost ambulance service, please don't sue if the ambulance breaks down.
My friend's family owned an ambulance service for 30 years and they shut it down due to the high cost of business. They now have a towing business with the same name operating out of the same facility.
Yeah it should be free. Because no one should have to forego urgent care ánd to avoid situations like this. Because as understandable as it is, the police are of course right that it's really risky for everyone around to go racing through the streets, especially when you're under that much stress.
Not everyone can afford a $3,000 ambulance
Traffic ticket and damage to the car won’t be cheap either.
As a European this sort of news is always baffling to me. We just call an ambulance cause we need one; money doesn't even enter our thoughts. It's so strange to read this stuff.
@@John-jz7zzyou’ve said this under multiple comments. Why are you passive aggressively pointing out the negative in this situation. You find issues with ppl being happy?!
@@John-jz7zzLess than $3,000+ I’m sure. And the daughter who was hand cuffed is fighting the ticket, hopefully she’ll get a sympathetic judge, though it’s doubtful in Arkansas…Especially since the family is Black.

I would do the same for my family. I hope they dont get punished too harshly 🙏❤️
Guess they should have pulled over and let Police possibly help them.... I remember doing that once, While speeding to the hospital with my mom and dad... You stay calm as much as possible. Explain and then get moving.
Sometimes it’s quicker to drive to the hospital than to call an ambulance. Also, an ambulance ride is $3,000. That’s not something everyone just has lying around.
It's not quicker, because EMTs treat you on-scene and in the ambulance.
Never had an ambulance bill over $500 for myself or anyone in my family. I also work in the ER as a Physician Assistant. They are never over $500 even without insurance.
only in the US you pay for the ambulance.
3000? Mine was 5k. Where those cheap ambulances at?
That's why, if pulled over on the way, you stop for cops. Explain the situation fast. And EVERY time they'll let you call an ambulance, or let you continue, or give you an escort. Cops aren't dull to reasoning, she was fleeing police. :/ Not legal in any circumstance.
This is what happens when it costs hundreds or thousands of dollars to call an ambulance.

This is what happens when you have a low IQ
And this is what happens when you think everything has to do with politics
@@MateoMansThis comment is not political. It’s a fact.
@@MateoManshuh? You just a b*tch in real life. Send yo location
The price for an ambulance is absolutely ridiculous.
The driver stated she didn't want to wait for an ambulance, not that cost was an issue. Quit projecting the current hot button issue on this story.
Any judge with a moral compass will dismiss the charges.
They should have stopped or called 911 when they saw police behind them. Sending a message that its okay not to stop for police while going 100mph is not good.
@cocofluff stop making sense, some folks won't get it
@@cocofluffno. That would be distracted driving. She needed her full attention to drive.
Unfortunately many general assemblies have passed "minimum sentence standards" and judges have no leeway.
@@cocofluff they were speeding a dying family member to the hospital, you expect them to pull over and answer a whole bunch of questions with their MOM DYING in the back seat? You bootlickers logic is insane
I would have done the same for my parents, sadly both passed, but I would have broken 100s of laws to get them to hospital. Parents are everything.
Dumb laws made by dumb people. NO ONE would care to "break the law" if a loved one is dying
They're irreplaceable. My heart goes out to you for your loss.
How would you feel if you wrapped your car around a pole and killed your parents for acting foolishly?
100 mph is putting everyone else's life at risk.
I would have done it a bit different. Once i saw the police after me, i would have either called dispatch and explained to them the situation to relay the message, or pulled over and told the cops myself. Either way, i would then be continuing my journey to the hospital. Quicker and safer. But i have half a brain, not all of us can say the same. The rest of us dont consider how the police will interpert it.... and dont understand the obvious repercussions of just ignoring the police.
She was more focused, and driving better at that moment, than most people on the road.
How do you know that?
She couldn't even think of stopping after being pursued by the police for 5 mile(!)
She could have caused a major crash and killed other people
@@alexp7984and your mom had an accident by having you

As a Canadian, it is absolutely heartbreaking to me to read all of these comments about how an ambulance is too expensive. No one should ever have to make that decision. I was unaware of this, and am so upset by it. I can only pray that this is not will not always be the case.
I truly hate America and not because of racism. This right here is why I’d rather live anywhere but here. I hope China destroys the U.S. so we can rebuild it better this ridiculous
I fractured my leg and they sent me a bill for everything,... 42 thousand dollars. Well I don't have that kind of money so I never paid it. This country isn't as good as the lies they tell the world.
Don't act like Canada has a perfect medical system. Ambulances are free but you have to wait over a year to get an appt with a specialist. My sister had to get insurance in Canada just to get a quicker appointment. America is perfect but it's better as a republic then a socialist state.
It’s around 1 thousand USD for 1 ambulance ride here in the states.
@@brhodes2287you’re so full of it. In the USA even with insurance you’re waiting for ever to see a doctor all the while paying crazy premiums to have insurance. Plus you have to meet your deductible before they even pay anything. Plus I have lived in 🇳🇴 and it’s the same as Canada 🇨🇦. We have public and private health care.
It's too expensive to call an ambulance.

To anyone reading this: please call 911 and let them know you’re car details and why you’re driving like this. It’ll avoid a headache, possibly get you an escort and leave a record of why you were doing this.
If they would have just stopped earlier they probably would have got an escort to the hospital. Just saying.
I pray that the judge gives compassion to them. I am also happy that their mother survived. Had she died because of their neglect, I believe the conversation would be different.
Not a chance. They went over 100 mph. It’s common sense for most
In another vid, the people said that they didn't stop because they thought the police were " escorting " them to the hospital.
Compassion, to perhaps not hit them with the max, but every healthy minded individual should be charged for fleeing from police no matter the circumstances, it's should affect the fine or jail time and should be accounted for, but not simply dismissed.
@@bobroberts2371why would they escort them? How would they even know
It was the daughter's who were negligent.
I had a similar thing happen to me. I clocked a car going 90+ and pulled them over. Their son had his hand severely smashed on a piece of playground equipment. I took him in my car and told the family to safely drive to the hospital. I radioed ahead to the hospital and they met us at the ER entrance. The family later wrote a letter to the colonel saying that due to the fast action the boys hand was saved. I get that in this case they didn’t pull over, but sometimes compassion and understanding should outweigh the law and your ego driven adrenaline rush. Stuff like this is why police are losing the respect and trust of the public.

You seem like one of the good ones. Thank you!
There is a full video of this on a channel called police pursuit. What this news channel didn’t show u is that trooper hernandez let her go. He had one of the police units escort her to the emergency room. If u want the link to the full video id b happy to link it to u to see.
@@AznIntegra521 The video shows the police knowingly wasting the time of people enduring a medical emergency and completely failing to be situationally aware, given the obvious hospital a short distance away, of the likely motivation for the speeding. I understand that the speeding is not legal, but the priority is to render aid first and enforce traffic law second.
They never earned it lol
Not everyone has the income to pay ambulance bill. That is true love and respect for her parents. Id done the same thing for my family i salute them.
I swear to god i felt this as it was happening. Crazy how it actually happened somewhere
No ticket should have been issued once the police understood the situation. And, thank God no one was injured or killed. 🙏🏽

“You don’t get to violate the law just because it’s a medical emergency, you’ve gotta be a cop to do that! “
Actually the police will break the speed limit and drive recklessly just because they are driving to work.
Ain't that the truth. Even if a cop is held accountable they give him the lightest charge and sentence possible.
You can't endanger the public. A quick call to 911 would have taken care of everything
@@tgarcia-rocha3629I’m still in debt bc of an ambulance bill from 2018 that took me from one hospital to another.
The police don't need a medical emergency to violate the law, actually they don't need any reason at all to break the law. They're cops so they feel that they have more rights than the rest of us. If we try to do what they do then they believe they have the right to punish us and we are obligated to obey their every command and if we don't, then they get to protect and serve the crap out of us!.
Doesn't matter if you going to the hospital or not you still pull over.
Another example of police investigating themselves and finding no wrongdoing.
I am glad everyone is safe and the mother appears to be doing okay.
Because you're black
Same, I was happy to see the mom made it.
Some cops 👮♀️ are d u m b
But as soon as they told the police it was a medical emergency, the police should have escort them to the hospital and ticket her when the patient in crisis is safe. Delaying her trip for medical care to write the daughter up could have cost a life.
OK I know your mothers having a heart attack. But let me write this ticket because that’s the most important thing right now. Then maybe we can deal with your mother.
Gee people don’t respect police nowadays I wonder why. I wonder what the judge is going to say. Does anyone in the Arkansas legal system have any common sense?
The police did escort them to the hospital
@@SpencerWilliamsIV
There was a lot of bad judgment here. First buy the two girls in the car. Then all of the police officers tried to show that they could have even worse judgment.
Know how many people suspect that if it was a different group of officers, they would’ve allowed the mother to die because their authority wasn’t respected.
Every time the police say we’ve done absolutely nothing wrong, and there’s nothing we can learn from the situation. They simply look worse to the public.
no ticket should have issued...

Sounds right
You can clearly see the blue flashing lights throughout, even when they were pulled over, so the lady saying that they turned on the lights and then just quickly turned them off is ridiculous. It's a danger to the public to speed like that, and what exactly do they expect to happen when they are speeding and not pulling over for the police? They should've just pulled over and asked for a police escort, but they resulted to this and then complain about it. Ridiculous.
How are the Police supposed to know that you haven't just robbed or murdered someone?, just pull over and explain.

I came here expecting to hate on the driver, but this was actually just really sad. I’m glad everyone involved is okay.
No sane American calls for an ambulance.
Thanks dan
Or you call 911 and tell them that u are in a rush and tell the license plate so they know there is a car going fast to the hospital. So when police see it maybe they can escort or just follow with lights on so it's easier for them to get to the hospital.
@@tkraft1442legit my thoughts, thank you. Even if she pulled over for a minute she could instantly convince them she needs an emergency escort. These things happen. Difficult situation but if you’re not prepared, you can face unnecessary consequences.

@@InfinitiAlex God bless you!
@@InfinitiAlexHow I think of it is his father getting sick is something that happened under the "natural" order of the world from us and creation being corrupted in the Fall and Him directly acting to stop a consequence of that like in this instance would've been a miracle. Miracles are rare by nature and though sought can't always happen and His goodness isn't dependent on them (Jesus performed miracles in the Bible but His goodness was already shown in His sacrifice for us). This also goes into the problem of evil ("why would God let my loved one be sick/die/etc?") and theodicies (defending God's goodness, I think), if you want to look into a deeper answer to this past what came off the top of my head.
if you are someone you know is having a heart attack put a aspirin under their mouth. Look this up. then go to the hospital or call for an ambulance.
Not going faster could cost people their lives. You need to absolutely get to the hospital as fast as you can.
@@billybarnes9208😂😂😂
I think it was in Arkansas that gave written instructions that if you felt unsafe stopping on a dark deserted highway when being stopped by state troopers….. then drive to a populated well lit area…. So this lady tried doing that while driving the speed limit… They flipped and rolled her car…. even though she was following their written instructions they weren’t deemed wrong…..
When it’s a heart attack; it’s usually best to call 911 unless one knows CPR or what they’re dealing with. It’s sad seeing the comments where some of us need to equate for the cost of an ambulance; but never risk a life thinking of such things. With that said, hope the law shows some compassion for this family and I’m glad the mom is ok.
You really are acting like an ambulance will be there in 2 seconds after calling
You do realize not everyone is trained medics. Ppl will go off of natural responses in a emergency. Fight or flight.
I hope no one ever has to rely on you for emergencies. You’re going to let them down.
Tough call. I know someone who blacked out and was going thru a seizure after complaining of stroke symptoms. The cops were called, but a quick acting employee jumped in a car and drove to the nearest hospital...the cops didnt arrive to the location until well after the individual was already at the hospital....this is not to blame the cops, but if it were any of my children....I'm takin the risk of being that speed racer.
Why would you call the cops for a seizure and not a ambulance?

OMG. Are they serious? The cost for an ambulance is so outrageously high that people rather have a family member drive them to the hospital at no cost.
I agree but it takes just seconds to tell police that. It's better to have them in front of you than behind you. They could have killed another family speeding like that.
It's high but usually reimbursed by insurance. I received a bill for $500 and paid nothing a few years back.
@@j.s.3297”Usually” but not always.
@@j.s.3297Some insurance still make you pay $1k+ for it
The cost could be killing someone while driving at a high rate if speed under pressure.
Honestly I get the panic they must have felt, but with more than one person in the car. Anyone of them should have called 911 when they saw the cops behind them. They could’ve easily told the operator what was happening and the cops likely would’ve told them to slow down and get behind them or gotten an ambulance rushed over.
Where I live in MD our police department, both county and state know that we get an ambulance between 5 and 20 minutes response time. So it’s not uncommon to see someone rushing to the hospital with hazards on. I did it a few years ago, cut the top of my finger off. Got pulled over and once the trooper saw all the blood he just said, go go go
As a case manager who worked in healthcare. I can say the ambulance cost around 4 to 8 k for an emergency life saving trip. ALS Advance Life Services is the response when they think a heart attack is imminent.
When you in an emergency you just want to help your family and can’t think clearly. Also ambulances are really slow. Id rather get a ticket and save my family members life, sorry not sorry
What's sad is the ticket will cost less than the ambulance.
@@colettedemonte5185the price of the ambulance was not the issue. The girl was just ignorant of the fact that when police arrived that was the help they need it.
@@jmannii when someone is in a highly stressful situation they can have tunnel vision and making rationally decisions in a highly emotional state is difficult.

Nobody wants to make ambulance services more affordable & accessible in America, yet the cops are wondering why innocent people are driving their critically ill family members to the nearest ER/hospital at high speeds.
Doesn't take away the dangerous situation of going over 100 and putting others at risk. It's not your road to do as you please.

Yes, but any sane person would stop for the police and tell them whats going on. Especially knowing that fleeing is highly illegal and cops preform pit maneuvers on fleeing cars to stop them.
By them choosing not to stop as soon as the police tried to pull them over just made the whole process of getting to the hospital longer. What they’d think the police would just stop chasing them?
@@allaansnackbar4269 that makes too much sense. These are americans, what do you think... they have common sense or something?

@@gravestoner2488They're also black. That adds a whole additional layer to this. What if they pull over and the police think they're faking? They're considering all of these things to try to decide the most expedient way to get their mom the medical care she needs. Additionally, they're 18. Legally they're adults, but they're still basically children.
Ambulance takes forever to respond to emergencies, police will not transport you to a hospital, i guess they expect people to just die and do nothing. This world has gone crazy
The police could have safely escorted them to the hospital at high speed. Speeding without a police escort put other people at risk of a bad car accident and they could have killed their mother.
Not the world, it's just anglo countries.
Just obey traffic laws when transporting them since you don’t have sirens or lights on your car… just because you have an emergency doesn’t mean you get to endanger everyone else.
@@Jaylin7878gyou are in danger whenever you drive a car emergency or not goofy😤😤
Yeah they take forced because sacks of excrement like you self tie up the 911 system with non emergency calls.
100 mph is NOT necessary. It'd pointless to get to the hospital for heart issues if you slam into a wall killing you both or someone else! 😒
Everyone on here is talking about the cost. What about the half-ish hour it takes to get an ambulance to you. The family mama could have passed in that time.
Like the mom said, by the time EMS arrived, they would've been at the hospital already. Desperate times call for desperate measures. I would've taken that ticket ANY day as well for my mom's health! ❤️
During an emergency, people don't always have the capacity to make the best decisions.
Most people end up calling 911 🤷🏽♂️
90% of us would have done the same thing. I know I would have called the cops on my way to the hospital; especially if there was a 3rd person in my vehicle. They can call while I drive
I'm curious, if they had called 911 and asked for police escort, while driving, would they still have to pay for that?
I thought having their hazards on indicated something was up.... just like when going below the speed limit
That is the general idea
Still doesn’t give you the right to drive over 100mph and not stop for the police 🤷🏻♂️
And pulling off the hospital exit. Ffs, these cops were idiots.
You can see the "emergency entrance" sign in the dash cam when he did Pitt maneuver
@@myleskgallagher lol once again are the cops supposed to be mind readers and know what they are doing? Stop being a dummy and have some common sense. Those girls should of stopped when they had the chance. They are at fault
I’m glad they weren’t harmed! And I totally get it! My husband had to throw on our blinkers and get me to the er before as well. Waiting for an ambulance and I wouldn’t have been here!
Sometimes you have to make a decision in the midst of chaos
Call an ambulance?!? In the USA?!??!!!
Every American knows how expensive it is to have an ambulance take you to the hospital. It’s the reason Americans are accustomed to just driving themselves to the ER.
When I heard the girl start screaming “please help my mama” I couldn’t hold back tears
Of course you can call the ambulance
But come one man if that was the cops mother he wouldn’t give a flying rats butt
That girl did what she had to do
Who cares about rules when someone you love might die
Said the other drivers with thier families in the car as this car goes by them at over 100. There are other families on the road to think about as well.
You cried? Tell me more.
@@coleramus561 so what you are saying is if I would do the same I would be justified doing over 100 in public streets putting others in danger?

I'm from UK and stunned in USA you have to pay for an ambulance 😮😮, hope the lady was okay
You doing 100 mph is extremely dangerous. The possibility of getting into a fatal car crash is very high. It wouldn't be just one person going to the hospital or the mortuary at that speed.
From personal experience. A very long time ago I was speeding on the freeway on the way to my first daughter’s birth. I got pulled over by highway patrol, he asked me what was the reason for speeding and when I replied, and stating I was on the way to witness my first child being born! The amazing and awesome patrolman said follow me, he then fired up his sirens and was doing over 100 miles an hour all the way down the highway to the hospital and escorted me to the front door and wish me luck! I will never forget that great officer!! ❤
Yea most police are understanding of these situations. Liberal media just likes to make you think they’re not.
Rare officer w.
Did you stop immediately or go 100 mph for 5 miles?
@@briandfallon74would you always behave in a calm and rational manner when faced with life or death situations?
You did the right thing. You stopped. It's no surprise they escorted you. It actually happens a lot more than you think, at least where I'm from. You'd be pulled over and either you stop voluntarily or by force, you just have to choose your outcome.
They did the best they could and I'm glad the lady made it.
Our country's infrastructure is definitely doing "the best they can" in a similar manner
@@breatheinthepinkair random af but ok
She was probably ok to begin with. Probably exaggerated
If they had stopped and quickly told police what was happening, they would have gotten to the hospital faster than having to spend time talking themselves out of handcuffs. Silly, but its good their mom is okay.
I saw a grandma bleeding on a park bench in waiting for a ride because her husband and grand daughter couldn’t afford to pay for an ambulance to take her to the hospital. It was one of the saddest thing i have seen, I wish I had known enough money myself to help people out like that in their time of needs.

@@ddone1583 no this was bleeding out of the forehead she fell while walking

No your medical situation is not more important than everyone else on the road.
100% correct.
We all know in America that getting a speeding ticket is a much better deal than riding an ambulance with or without insurance. What a broken system 😂
My aunt was in active labor and the hospital was a hour away. We had to speed there because she was literally about to give birth and an ambulance is too expensive and would’ve taken longer. We actually got pulled over by the police and explained the situation. The officer completely understood and gave us an escort to the hospital. I think the driver in the video could’ve gotten some lenience if she just pulled over and explained what was happening
Yeah totally, I'll pull over while my mother fights for her life in the passenger sit next to me

I’m really glad she made it.
Ummm if your in a dire deadly medical emergency. Not one person would hesitate to do anything to quickly save a loved one. She was 18yrs... Have a ❤❤
I lived in rural Texas when I was stung by bees. Started having an allergic reaction. My father drove at high speeds to get me to the hospital. Waiting for the ambulance was not an option. He did stop for the police and they took one look at me and let us go.
He stopped. That's the right thing to do.

Pause at 1:23 , literally the second after the pit maneuver.. Why is the person in the backseat smiling like it’s the best day of their life and they just heard the funniest joke of all time? 😂
Well.. when the cops are behind you with lights, you STOP !! If you're having a medical emergency, A cop can radio for help OR, I've even seen instances where a person explained the emergency & the cop used the lights and sirens to clear the way so they could SAFELY speed to the hospital..
I can see both sides of this.
You need to be able to rush someone to a hospital. I’ve had to do it myself and yeah I drove fast.
But at the same time, driving in a mad rush at over 100 mph can cause a major crash that kills multiple people, including innocent bystanders.
Like I said, I did it myself. I tried to call 911 on the way to tell them so they could tell any cops on the way. But I reached the hospital before 911 answered, so a fat lot of good they were.
A nice responsible comment
Exactly. I would rather make payments for an ambulance that risk the patient dying in my presence, not being able to resuscitate them, or have them die. Plus you are risking your life and the lives of others driving at that speed. Nobody can afford to pay for an ambulance but at least, your loved ones may make it safer to the hospital and have more of a chance to survive with paramedics near to the patient. But, I do understand their panic and reaction.
Now *this* is a responsible and mature comment to make. Thank you.
people dont understand thst driving way over the speed limit doesn’t even save that much time its not worth it
@@stephaniecorelli3034you do know not times outta 10 ambulance still don't make it in time. So let's say somebody in my house is having a heart attack it's going to take them ten to twenty minutes for them to get here and by that time one of my family members are technically already be gone because the ambulance took there sweet time coming . Not only that but an ambulance trip is expensive not everybody has the money to afford an ambulance trip
Once you notice police following you, it's best to pull over and let them know you're experiencing a medical emergency. Most officers will understand and a few even escort you so you get there faster.
I wouldn't trust the police to save anyone's life....

You can even contact 911 before rushing to hospital. This makes sure you are not getting stopped during the transportation.
True. Hazards mean nothing without a call.
Wonder what would have got them to the hospital faster? Doing this or pulling over and taking 15 seconds to explain that they had a medical emergency? They would have likely gotten a police escort or a ride in the cruiser.
This is an awfully statist story. If your loved one is having a heart attack, speed. My uncle dropped dead in the middle of a sentence, time is pretty important. When seconds count, don't count on 911.
Sorry about your uncle.

Please.... Make sure the police understand that same law. When they choose to drive fast just because they believe that they can. But I understand their position in this situation. I also agree with the mom. Emergency crew has been on their time as of late. We truly have a broken system. Good luck, young lady....❤🙏🏽
Here in the philippines it is common sense that when a vehicle is fast with hazard lights on and honking loud it is in an emergency
@@richardpajimola5653that’s common knowledge here as well.
Completely the opposite opinion: there should be a law requiring all marked police cars to go a MINIMUM of 15 over the posted speed limit.
Whenever a cop goes less than that, nobody wants to pass him, and he creates a creeping traffic jam. But some do so because their boss is scared of public opinions like yours, that police should have to crawl along as slowly as the rest of us.
They're public servants with authority & responsibility over the transportation system, of course they're special! ...LET them get ahead of us to take care of problems before we arrive at them!
@@richardpajimola5653yeah Maybe a kidnapping in progress 🤔
@@Whocares282 no its really about emergency..ask any filipino about it and theyll confirm it
We literally sped to the hospital with my hazard lights on when I was in active labor. Thank God no officer pulled us over or pinned our car. In the sense of emergency I assure you no one is thinking about all of that. The man giving the interview has Z E R O compassion. I can only pray he doesn’t find himself in a similar situation. Be mindful how you speak and treat others. As the saying goes … what goes around… comes around.
To be fair, he can't advocate people break the law on interview. Leniency is the job of the judicial system, enforcement is the job of law enforcement
Advising the general public to ignore laws at their own discretion is a bad idea (and undermines the law). Leniency for individual incidents when panic or circumstances lead to an inadverntently illegal decision, seems like a better approach
@@ismailahmad9597 thank you for being respectful in your reply. I definitely received the message and this makes a lot of sense. I can understand this POV.
How are the police supposed to know?
I like how the cops took the time to write a ticket while mom was in the backseat possibly having a heart attack and also possibly having a heart attack that her daughters were about to get shot by cops crazy enough to run them off the road.
How do you know he wrote the ticket at that time and not at the hospital. You should always take everything with a grain of salt.
@@protennis365they said that the cops let then go AFTER they wrote them a ticket.
@@protennis365 I have high blood pressure and need to watch my intake of salt, protennis365. 😉
She wasn’t having a heart attack. Did you listen to the story? She was discharged the day before. Hard time breathing and tingling/numbness in the hands is most likely a panic attack. The bias you have towards the police is clear in your comments. We get, everyone hates the police. But if they hit you at over a 100 MPH for something that clearly wasn’t a real emergency you would want police to be prosecuting them.
I know, that made me so angry, they should have followed her and given the ticket after if they really felt they needed to.
To be fair i can understand both parties acting the way they did. Just an unfortunate situation.
One party is an armed agent of the state with immunity to act as recklessly as they feel.
You are right. Unfortunately things get politicised.
Yeah
Pit maneuvers are dangerous bull, stop licking boots.
I agree ☝🏾
