A spokesperson from the Arizona Department of Safety said another paramedic in the ambulance is in extremely critical condition. The truck driver is said to have minor injuries.

The cause of the crash remains under investigation.

Marina Fire Chief Doug McCoun was carjacked in his fire department SUV Friday around 9 p.m. while responding to a motor vehicle accident.

McCoun told reporters he first thought the man approaching his vehicle wanted assistance after the accident, but the man reached inside and pulled him out.

The Monterrey County sheriff’s department recovered the vehicle Saturday morning at the home of a woman who reported a stranger was in her house. They arrested 43-year-old Kevin Peck of Sacramento and charged him in the incident.
