An ambulance carrying an injured man who had been stabbed in the neck by his ex-girlfriend collided with another vehicle while en route to the hospital Sunday, sources said. The man later died, although law-enforcement sources said it is believed that he died of his stab wounds and not the accident, which was relatively minor.
The ambulance was on Atlantic Avenue when it slammed into a Chrysler minivan near Woodhaven Boulevard in Queens at around 2:30 p.m. Sunday.
The crash left the ambulance unable to continue to Jamaica Hospital, and another one had to be dispatched, according to the sources.
