Every violation of the COC is carried out on the sole responsibility of the driver by whatever that means. We understand the psychological pressure of rescuers operating in adverse conditions due to the intense traffic every day on the streets, the very small force of ambulances operating in Attica, and results in major delays resulting in the rescuers’ anxious effort to quickly travel to hospitals. But the safety of the citizens, the rescuers, the safety of the attendants and the patients who are being treated is always a priority. “We express our condolences to the rider’s relatives. Our passages to the 2 rescuers, the patient and her escort.”
