A driver left the car badly parked at the entrance of the Braga Hospital for approximately half an hour, preventing the passage of ambulances and buses. The Municipal Police (PM) even had to calm the spirits of the drivers stopped in the queue who insisted on showing their anger at the criminal.
The situation occurred on Tuesday, at 09:15. The car was left at the entrance to the parking lot for ambulances transporting non-urgent patients and health professionals, blocking the way, causing a long line.
The abusive parking prevented the passage of TUB buses and several ambulances to transport non-urgent patients, as well as private vehicles of several users and health professionals who traveled to the hospital.

Alerted, the PM called “the tow patrol to verify the situation described” and “on the way to the Braga Hospital, he answered about a dozen more calls to report the same situation and report on the limitations that were worsening. ”, Explains the PM coordinator, Nuno Ribeiro.
In this way, it was decided to contact the PM’s automatic patrol to also travel to the site, as the need for the intervention of more agents is expected ”, he adds.
When the two patrols arrived at the site, they had to, in the first place, “alleviate the traffic congestion that already existed in the Hospital roundabout since it was almost impossible for the trailer to reach the main entrance area”, and it was necessary to access the site. “In the opposite direction to the march.”
When the PM began towing, the driver left the hospital building and was ordered to take the vehicle to another location and traffic began to move normally.

The car ended up without being towed, but the offender had to pay the costs of removing the vehicle and the lack of poor parking for a total of 120 euros.
The PM coordinator affirms that, at the time of the driver’s arrival at the scene, “the citizens who were in the place and the drivers of other vehicles, rose up verbally, expressing their revolt.”
The patrol had to calm the situation and also the criminal herself who revealed to the agents that she was “in panic.”
Abusive parking at the hospital entrance is a recurring problem.
As far as O MINHO is concerned, the situation occurred outside the hours that the PM generally controls the traffic at that location.
