A prime example of [fill in the blank] run amok

I'm really not sure what to make of this UK story about some poor gambling shmuck who died from a heart attack because the ambulance drivers were in the middle of their European Union-mandated lunch break and it was illegal for them to put down their sandwiches and drive to the emergency. Is this an example of regulation run amok? Labor unions run amok? Socialized medicine run amok? Euroclerosis run amok? Lack of common sense run amok?

So many choices.

“We can confirm crews were on a rest break at the time."

Did he follow that up with "so sorry!"

Ah, yes, the warm fuzzy feeling of being socialist.
