Bangkok: patient strapped to a stretcher falls out of the back of an ambulance

Thailand is Cambodia's neighbor to the West, and this forum is dedicated to Thai news, stories, reviews, blogs, videos, Thai people and anything else related to the country. A lot of expats have both lived and worked in Cambodia and Thailand, and this area is a place to discuss all aspects of life in Thailand and what's going on there. Most topics are about Bangkok and Pattaya because of their larger populations of expatriates and tourists in those cities, but this is for all things Thai.

Bangkok: patient strapped to a stretcher falls out of the back of an ambulance

Shocking moment: patient strapped to a stretcher falls out of the back of an ambulance onto a busy street in Bangkok

Drivers on a busy street were given a shock when a patient attached to a stretcher was propelled out the back of an ambulance. Dashcam footage shows cars slowing down and pulling over to allow the emergency vehicle through which is carrying a man who has been involved in a motorcycle crash nearby. But as the ambulance passes by the back door flies open and the patient falls out the back onto a busy road in Bangkok. Quickly realising he has lost his patient, the ambulance driver runs into the road and is helped by shocked motorcyclists to get the stretcher, which begins rolling along the road, back in the white van.

They bundle it into the ambulance and the driver quickly speeds off again as if nothing happened.
