Manage episode 431215712 series 2882353
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."
