The Fugitive (1993)

Question: At one point, Kimble steals an ambulance. We then cut to the U.S Marshals, who say "An ambulance has been spotted...". They then run off to intercept it. But surely there's more than one ambulance in that area, and surely more than one person has seen an ambulance in that time?

Answer: True, but if they cannot contact this one or it is seen driving eratically or out of it's designated area, that is sufficent to cause suspicion.

Also, this was a rural part of Illinois where there was likely often only 1 or even no ambulances driving somewhere around in the vicinity at one given time. That's something which of course would be very different in the Chicago city area.
