Fury over oblivious drivers 'ignoring crash scene'
There has been anger over drivers seemingly ignoring a crash scene which left a driver needing to be air-lifted to hospital.
Firefighters were called to the Perito Moreno highway, in Buenos Aires, Argentina on the weekend after a driver became trapped in his truck following a crash.
Buenos Aires Undersecretariat of Emergencies tweeted that a truck also collided with medical aircraft at the scene.
Video uploaded to Reddit shows the chopper, blades rotating, preparing to take off from the highway.
Several cars and trucks seemingly ignore the helicopter.
The truck mentioned by authorities passes the chopper and its blades tear shreds off the container before it moves to pull over.
Police told Argentine news agency Télam the truck driver has been charged. No one else was injured.
