The Police administration says it is an offence for ambulances carrying dead bodies or motor hearses to blow sirens. The director of Police Public Relations, Mr. Awuni answering a question from JOYFM said there is no point in blowing sirens and disturbing public peace when motor hearses or ambulances carry corpse. JOYFM’s enquiries follow a fatal accident in Accra last Saturday, involving an ambulance carrying the corpse of a reverend minister. Eyewitnesses say the ambulance created panic blowing its siren and consequently collided with another vehicle negotiating a round about. Mr. Awuni said it was an offence for the driver to have blown the siren and that criminals charges would be taken against him.
