Vegas shooting victims cram into cab on way to hospital

New video shows a Las Vegas taxi driver transporting six victims from Sunday’s mass shooting to the hospital.

Winifredo Maquindang of Yellow Checker Star Transportation was staged at Mandalay Bay when he first heard shots being fired. He quickly entered his cab and shut the door.

Minutes later, victims fleeing the concert site poured into the roadway. A man pleaded Maquindang to drive to the corner to pick up a man who was shot.

The video shows him approaching Sunrise Hospital, where staff were already stationed outside the emergency department, ready to help.

Yellow Checker Star, which provided the video, said it is partnering with Miracle Flights to provide free transportation to medical facilities for anyone affected by the shooting.

COMMENTARY: Joe Biden is the much better dictator

I’m really sorry, Democrats, there’s no vaccine for your Trump Derangement Syndrome. But as far as I can tell, thanks to your “Big Guy” Joe Biden and his caretakers, our democracy is pretty well on its way down the drain already.
