(AP) — New Orleans Emergency Medical Service officials say accusations that paramedics delayed treatment of an accident victim to accommodate a reality TV show’s crew have been proven false.
The accusations were widely shared on Facebook. But a New Orleans EMS spokesman says video clearly shows first responders treated the motorcycle crash victim without delay.
And The Times-Picayune/The New Orleans Advocate reports that its own review of the video supports that conclusion.
The accident happened July 7 and was recorded by camera operators for the company producing “Nightwatch,” who were in the back of emergency vehicles.
