DOTHAN:   Dothan 911 received a call that a vehicle was following an ambulance and traveling east on Highway 52 coming through Malvern.


Dothan Police intercepted the vehicle and ambulance on Ross Clark Circle. The Dothan Officer activated his blue lights and siren and the vehicle behind the ambulance continued on.


When the ambulance went through Ross Clark and Highway 231 South so did the truck behind the ambulance with police cars with their lights and siren on behind him.


The vehicle continued. As the ambulance went through Hodgesville Road and Ross Clark Circle intersection with red lights, so did the truck with Dothan Police cars behind him with their emergency lights.


The ambulance, truck behind the ambulance and three Dothan Police arrived at Third Avenue and Ross Clark Circle with red lights on the circle. The ambulance cleared the intersection and so did the truck.


As they went through the intersection the truck was able to be stopped on the Circle before Cottonwood Road. The officers, while they felt was family following the ambulance, had to approach the vehicle with safety for the officers in mind. The subject was taken from the truck making sure all was ok.


The person in the truck, it was his mother in the ambulance. All understood and felt for him. However, the priority is the patient in the ambulance and not the family. Safety has to be first and the utmost priority.


You can not follow an emergency vehicle.


Hope the persons mom is OK. However law enforcement had to stop a dangerous situation before someone got hurt.


And that causes law enforcement officers to get trash talked about. " I can't believe officers stopped the family" then when the family gets in an accident, then it is the officers should have done something.


While we understand the emotions, the purpose of this article is to say - be calm and let the emergency services persons do their jobs. The patient is important to promptly get to the hospital.
