'Disgraceful' Audi driver blocked path of ambulance on way to emergency

An Audi driver's behaviour was branded "disgraceful" after he blocked the path of an ambulance on emergency response. Paramedic Karen Patterson was driving the ambulance with colleague Anthony Haslam in the passenger seat when they received an emergency call at the Queen's Medical Centre, Nottingham.

Sounding the sirens and illuminating the ambulance's distinctive blue lights, they responded to the emergency, heading toward Nottingham's City Hospital, where traffic moved to the left to allow them to pass.

But then they encountered Dylan Kirk in his silver-coloured Audi, who pulled over as the ambulance approached, Nottingham Crown Court heard on Wednesday (May 10). As the ambulance passed him, he accelerated as if to catch up with the vehicle being driven at 45 to 50mph on July 31, 2021.
