Disturbing footage captured in Cape Coral shows multiple drivers speeding past an ambulance attempting to navigate through an intersection.
The incident occurred Thursday at the 20th Street intersection on Santa Barbara Boulevard South, WBBH reports.
Witness Daniel Martin, who recorded the scene on his GoPro, was shocked as nine to ten cars ignored the ambulance’s flashing lights and sirens.
“It’s frustrating because these paramedics are working so hard to save lives, and people just aren’t paying attention,” Martin told WBBH.
It is illegal not to yield to emergency vehicles, according to Florida Highway Patrol.
