Struggling Ambulance Gets a Push as Snow Clogs Athens Streets

A severe weather front hit Greece on Monday, January 24, bringing heavy snowfall to Athens and, in a rare instance, several Aegean islands.

This video, taken by Christos Gasteratos, shows people pushing an ambulance that was stuck in snow at a junction in Athens.

Gasteratos told Storyful that a total of four ambulances were stuck in snow at the junction for several minutes.

The Greek government declared Tuesday and Wednesday public holidays for parts of the country affected by the snow. Credit: Christos Gasteratos via Storyful
