"Speeding?" Did they have their lights and warning devices activated?
If so, they may have been either responding to a critical incident call or were transporting a patient to a hospital. Under those circumstances it becomes a judgement call on the part of the ambulance crew. If the ambulance is mechanically capable of proceeding, AND the damage to the other vehicle was not life-threatening, they might continue on their way. They obviously would have to report it as soon as they had their first opportunity, and may even return to the scene of the collision to assist in the investigation.
The same question could be asked about ANY public safety emergency response vehicle, and all such incidents must stand or fall on their own individual merits.

Can a dead body be shifted in ambulance and whether it is legal?
An ambulance is intended to move people who are still living but are in need of medical help. Of course, it is possible that a person who is living when the ambulance picks him or her up, will die in the ambulance before getting to the hospital. If this happens, the ambulance will still take the body to the hospital (where it may be subjected to an autopsy). However, if a person is already dead, you would not call an ambulance, you would call a hearse. As for the legalities, it is illegal to inflict an indignity on a dead body, but being carried in an ambulance would not be considered an indignity. In some circumstances it would be a waste of medical resources, needed to help the living.
