The footage shows that the ambulance stopped right in front of a route 3 tram. Its driver and ten passengers had to get out of the car and push the vehicle. At one point, a man in a bright vest started waving vigorously at someone.
After a few minutes, the car managed to move and drive a few meters in reverse, but soon it got stuck again. The tram drove up to the ambulance, and the driver joined the rescue team again. In the end, through joint efforts, the car was finally pulled out.
