A police officer saw how they were speeding and driving, and pulled them over as they were pulling into the hospital.

When the couple got out of their car, the police officer drew his gun and told them to get back into the car. He walked over to them and they explained the situation. The police officer said he did not care, and they drove wrecklessly and broke the law. The nurse substantiated the claim about the dying mother, and the doctor came out as well and substantiated the claim. The police officer called for back-up and told everyone to stay in their car. He gave the husband a ticket. After the process, they ran inside but it was too late and the mother had died.
