A tobacco chief was fired on March 11 after his driver parked in front of a hospital gate, delaying an ambulance carrying a patient who subsequently required amputations.
The driver, surnamed Shan, drove a vehicle belonging to the Huizhou District branch of the Huangshan City Tobacco Monopoly Administration to the Huangshan People's Hospital, in eastern province Anhui, on March 10 Monday morning. Around 15 minutes later, two ambulances carrying 2 men who had been seriously injured in a landslide arrived, the People's Daily website reported. However, they couldn't get into the hospital as the car was blocking the entrance and Shan couldn't be found.
The head of the Huizhou tobacco administration, surnamed Hu, has been removed from his post and Shan suspended. |
