Ambulance Collides with Bus

Today I rode the Bus Ruta 302 Circular Sur  Izquierda. I got off at a park at the south end of the Airport. It's a fun place to go because you can watch airplanes land and you can eat chuzos de cerdo (pork on a skewer):



After that I got back on the bus, which loops around the city and takes me back to the neighborhood where I live. 



The tiny microphone in my camera wasn't very good at capturing the mambo music playing in the bus. We also passed these mosaic pyramids in the median of La Avenida Oriental (Eastern Avenue.)



But as we maneuvered through traffic, an ambulance crashed into us! It wasn't a bad crash and no one was hurt– but if anyone had, it would have been convenient that there was an ambulance. 


The bus driver gave the paramedics a stern talking-to.


Then she looked at the part of the ambulance that contacted the bus.


Then they looked at the part of the bus that contacted the ambulance. The police came and stopped traffic. Everyone got mad and honked their horns and yelled. 




People on the bus were impatient and didn't know what to do.




Then the paramedics got back in their ambulance and left.




This is the bus. The bus driver flagged down another bus that was driving the same route and all the passengers switched to that bus. This is where the crash took place:
