This is the moment the driver of a Mercedes convertible appears to deliberately block the road for an ambulance on the way to a hospital in west Slovakia.
The ambulance was carrying an 84-year-old woman who had suffered a fall, but despite sirens blaring and all other cars getting out of the way, the Mercedes stayed in front of them.
However, the
driver later told local media that he was only trying to assist the ambulance crew, believing that he was 'escorting' them through traffic.
...
The driver of the car has since been identified as a Boris Zahumensky, a local 'entrepreneur' who had stood in local council elections for the Christian Democratic Movement party (KDH).
Mr Zahumensky, 45, told a Slovakian newspaper that he felt terrible for blocking the ambulance, as he had honestly believed to have done them a favour, thinking they had turned on the sirens to ask for his guidance - not for him to move out of the way.
'I figured that they wanted me to show them the way,' the delusional driver told Cas.sk.
'I did not hesitate to risk my life and my brand new car that I only had owned for two days to do this.'
He added that his hero bubble burst at the last intersection when the ambulance came up alongside him and the driver told him off.
Mr Zahumensky was arrested by police and had his drivers licence and weapons licence suspended pending investigation.
His membership in the Christian Democratic Movement party has also been suspended, the newspaper said.
