Paramedics receive disturbing note from angry neighbour while attending life-threatening emergency

Ambulance staff received a disturbing note from a nearby neighbour while attending to an emergency.

Staff who work at East of England Ambulance Service Trust (EEAST) found the note left on one of their vehicles.

An angry neighbour threatened the staff, warning them to never park in front of their driveway.

They wrote in big capital letters that it was a dropped kerb and also called the staff a 'blind idiot', reports EssexLive.

The EEAST shared the note on social media - but part of it had to be cropped due to inappropriate language.

They tweeted: "This not was left on the windscreen of a marked rapid response vehicle while a member of Team EEAST attended a medical emergency.

"We've had to crop the note due to inappropriate language.

"Is your parking space really more important than a neighbour's life? #DontChoosetoAbuse."

Emergency vehicles can park anywhere, with the Department for Transport stating that any vehicle being used for emergency purposes is exempt from parking fines.

Paramedics and medical staff typically try to avoid parking in such a way that will cause a nuisance to other road users, but when an emergency is taking place that they need to attend, they don't have the time to scout around for a better parking space.
