Video shows Las Vegas shooting victims cram into cab on way to hospital

Updated October 6, 2017 - 11:58 pm

Newly released video shows a Las Vegas taxi driver transporting six victims from Sunday’s mass shooting on the Strip 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 with Maquindang to drive to the corner to pick up a man who was shot.

The video shows the driver approaching Sunrise Hospital and Medical Center, where staff were waiting 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.
