The bus driver was also said to be stuck behind the wheel. There were no patients in the ambulance. The ambulance driver was adamant about not giving a statement.
Investigators also declined to offer an interview because the accident is still being investigated. He explained that there are no CCTV cameras in that section of EDSA because the MMDA only removes them for maintenance.
