Videos What happens in a situation like this?

Entitled prick blocks a bus because she supposedly wasn't let on. A fire truck is behind - full lights blaring but refuses to move. No space for the truck to pass due to the congestion.

Would anything at all be able to be done? It's times like this that really piss and stress out firefighters, and I'm sorry people like this exist. Hopefully a big charge came her way, but nothing new as of yet as this happened yesterday I believe.

For what? I guess it could be false imprisonment?

In Texas blocking an emergency vehicle is a felony.

Yeah that. It’s different than failing to yield but actually blocking it like this is a felony.
