Traffic
They were moving as fast as they could, but something was holding them back. Peak season was here! Ricky made a concerted effort to avoid the traffic. But eventually, the traffic fully backed up. Ricky just had a small window of opportunity to rush to the hospital.
The Ambulance
Ricky dialled 911. Due of the traffic, they would need to spend a lot of time here. It is acceptable for the ambulance to cross the busy street. After a brief delay, the ambulance arrived, enabling Jolene to reach the hospital without delay.
