Correlation != Causality. If an emergency vehicle needs to get somewhere fast, it will run sirens and lights to drive faster.
Faster verhicles are obviously more likely to get into accidents. Still, this seems like a reasonable tradeoff to keep response times low overall.
I severely doubt that sirens and lights by themselves cause any significant accidents.

No, dumbass. Crash statistics are 2X for emergency vehicles running with lights and sirens.
You clearly don’t have the brain capacity to grasp simple logic.
GFY.

Main point is that running with lights & sirens is more detrimental to the patient vs. flow of traffic transport.
Again, simple concept.
