They can go through red lights but doing so safely , he did not make sure all vehicles were aware he was coming through.

is that the same rule for any emergency vehicle , clear the intersection before proceeding?

Yes approach with lights are sirens but do not blow right through. if you do and kill someone you will be charged with manslaughter in some cases.

Those Big ambulances Roll if you take corners to fast

A hot head driving the bus (ambulance) can hurt more people if they drive too fast. We were taught better to get there a little slower than not at all. I have seen this with my own eyes, a Bus would get a rescue call and head out , load up a patient and on way to hospital get wrecked in a intersection. Now another bus and crew would have to take the 1st crew to hospital with their original victim.

All operators are trained, and it very rarely ever happens.
You can never control what another driver will do most panic when the see red lights and hear sirens.

expensive?

Depends on how big you want it. Mine's about 700 pounds. It was given to me, but yes...they are a marketable item.
Priced by the pound or the pallet, I believe.

who is at fault here?

Guy in the truck wasn't paying close enough attention, is my guess.

Steve McQueen's horse Ringo (WANTED! DEAD OR ALIVE) is one of the most impressive examples of a Quarter Horse that I've ever seen. What a magnificent steed! I love watching him move.

Turns out, his personality was a bit spicy, too. Steve McQueen was a pretty good horseman, but I've heard that Ringo bucked him off a couple times and that he liked to bite. Gorgeous animal.

That panic is maybe why drunks run INTO flashing emergency lights on the side of the road.

That's a good point. Both drivers could have been more aware, though. My .02.
