- As mentioned above, a patient is seriously injured in a car accident caused by a reckless motor cyclist. An ambulance is called to the scene to fetch the patient. The patient is put into the ambulance, which the leaves for the hospital. On the way to the hospital, while speeding through a red light at an intersection, the ambulance collides with a car. The ambulance driver and patient are killed.
–If you apply the ‘foreseeability test’, who is responsible for the patient’s death? The reckless motor cyclist who caused the original car accident? Or, the ambulance driver who went through the red light?
