Video: MA Responders Pursue Runaway Stretcher

A funny video posted on social media shows an empty stretcher rolling down a driveway and onto a roadway as Worcester responders give chase.

A funny video posted to social media shows a "close call" for a stretcher—which was not carrying a patient—as it rolls down a driveway and onto a roadway in Massachusetts.

In the video, two medics wheel the stretcher toward the front of a home in Worcester that sits at the top of an incline. One of them clearly places a wheel block to prevent the stretcher from rolling, but as they enter the home, the stretcher breaks free and begins its journey down the driveway and onto an adjacent roadway.

One of the medics and a firefighter chase after it, and luckily it suffered no damage as it rolled unimpeded through the intersection.

Twitter user Mike Saccone shared the video on his feed:
