An ambulance crashed into a guardrail and a utility pole early Sunday while carrying a patient to a Salem County hospital. State police said the ambulance, operated by the Quinton Volunteer Fire Company, hit the utility pole at 12:54 a.m. near the Fulton Bank at 125 Salem Woodstown Road, also called Route 45.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation, Trooper Alejandro Goez said.
The pole was sheared off and Atlantic City Electric was called to the scene. The ambulance was towed away, he said.
Goez said he did not have any information on whether anyone was injured, but police and fire dispatches at the time of the crash indicated at least two people were injured.
