Using a spotter to back up the ambulance until it can safely exit the area is the best choice. This ensures that the vehicle is not damaged and no one is injured and also allows for safe egress from the scene. Sending law enforcement to find the owner of the vehicle or waiting for the owner to return would cause delays which could be detrimental to patient care. Backing up using the side- and rear-view mirrors may be difficult and increase the risk of collision.
