Shocking moment ambulance arrives to deal with on-pitch emergency… only for driver to lock keys in vehicle

AN ambulance got stuck on the pitch at a match in Paraguay after the driver locked his keys inside the vehicle.

Paramedics attended to an injured player in a youth game between January 6 and Barrio Guaraní.

The driver locked himself out of the ambulance

They arrived in an ambulance which they left parked on the pitch as they provided medical assistance to the stricken player.

But when they returned to the vehicle they were unable to move it as the keys had been left inside.

Fortunately the injured player was okay so there was no longer an emergency and he did not need to be taken to hospital.

According to Extra the driver tried to force open the door but was unsuccessful.

He then used a rod and was able to open the door and drive off the pitch, allowing the match to be completed with Club Gaurani winning on penalties.

Fans found the fiasco rather entertaining after footage of the incident circulated on social media.

One wrote: “Latin America always providing us with material for entertainment.”

Another added: “Sublime.”

A third said: “Genius!”

And another commented: “Only in Latin America hahaha.”
