A pedestrian who narrowly missed serious injury or possibly death when he walked into a Toronto fire truck with sirens blaring is being scorned on social media. A dashcam video posted on YouTube on Monday appears to show a person attempting to cross the median at St.
A firefighter in the passenger side seat seems to throw up his arms in frustration before giving the pedestrian a stern talk.
Moments later, the video shows another firefighter getting out of the truck to check on the pedestrian who appeared uninjured.
“Unbelievably common, people would be shocked at how oblivious people are to the big flashy truck,” one Reddit poster wrote.
“When it’s one distracted pedestrian walking blindly into traffic, we call them a ‘moron.’ When it’s a whole city of similarly distracted pedestrians walking blindly into traffic, it’s ‘victim blaming,'” said another.
