(dia: ja) 12162 Rit 12461 Olivier van Noortstraat

What happened?

On 24 January 2024 at 13:42, an ambulance was dispatched to a 112 emergency call in Hillegom, on Olivier Van Noortstraat. The ambulance dispatch centre coordinates the response and sends a crew with priority lights and sirens to provide first aid on-site and — if needed — transport the patient to the nearest suitable hospital.

The ambulance was dispatched as a Direct Deployment (DIA): the dispatcher was still gathering details from the caller, but the ambulance had already been sent on the basis of the first signals. This avoids losing time in situations that look immediately life-threatening.
