McKEESPORT, Pa. -- A local ambulance driver has made his way onto YouTube.com.
The three-minute video shows the ambulance driver dancing in his seat to Justin Timberlake’s popular tune, “Sexy Back,” as he speeds through busy roads and intersections in McKeesport.
The sound of the ambulance siren can be heard over the loud music.
It might have been a joke but not everyone is laughing; especially Earl Kossuth, the director of TransCare Pennsylvania, Inc. Kossuth said the two individuals who are believed to be involved were former employees of TransCare.
Kossuth issued the following statement regarding the YouTube video: "TransCare was alerted by the McKeesport Police Department of a video posted on the Web site YouTube involving a TransCare ambulance. I have not viewed this video however I have been informed of its content.
"We are cooperating with the McKeesport Police Department in their investigation. This is a very serious matter and we have a zero tolerance policy for inappropriate use of our fleet vehicles. TransCare takes every possible measure to assure that our employees are in good standing by conducting pre-employment criminal background checks, pre-employment drug screening as well as random drug testing throughout their employment. We also search the Federal Exclusions list for individuals who are excluded from participation in the Federal Medicare Program. We also provide our staff with a state approved Emergency Vehicle Operators Course and run annual motor vehicle checks through the Pennsylvania State Police on every employee.
"Delivering the highest level of patient care is our main priority and I will take every possible precaution to assure safe and appropriate use of our fleet."
I don't know which is more disturbing. Dancing while driving or him listening to Justin Timberlake? Yep, we are a group of real professionals.
