Ray Chung: Wellington City Councillor blames speed humps for delayed emergency response

Heather du Plessis-Allan Drive - A podcast by Newstalk ZB - Wednesdays

There's belief speed humps hindered emergency responders rushing to help a dying man. Fire and Emergency New Zealand says it's concerned Wellington roading changes are slowing response vehicles. A man reportedly collapsed and died in his Karori home last week - with responders arriving too late to resuscitate him. City Councillor Ray Chung claims speed humps and raised crossings are to blame. "The firepeople said that in emergencies like this - every second is important, every second counts, you've got to get there before their heart stops beating."
