The Thai taxi driver filmed blocking ambulances before the patient's death is outraged

A taxi driver in Thailand is in front of criminal charges after blocking an ambulance with a critically ill man who later died before reaching a hospital – an incident that has once again laid public anger about the bad street labels.

The confrontation developed on Sunday morning in the Phuket Kathu district, but only on Tuesday did the dashcam film material of the encounter became online viral, whereby the public was widespread and triggered the demand for a greater accountability of the driver.

In the video, which was shared for the first time by the Kamala subdistrict administrative organization Rescue Center, the taxi driver is driven in the middle lane and refuses to make room for the ambulance, even though his siren and emergency lights flash.

Instead, the Cabby tries to cut in front of the ambulance to avoid a parked vehicle, and forces both to a standstill.

The ambulance wore a 77-year-old man with heart disease, which had previously collapsed in a Durian fruit garden, the nation reported.

His family had contacted the rescue center, which coordinated a Patong Hospital Patong Hospital.
