First Responders Injured When Baytown (TX) Ambulance Rolls Over in T-bone Crash

First Responders Injured When Baytown (TX) Ambulance Rolls Over in T-bone Crash

An SUV crashed into an ambulance about 9 a.m. Thursday in central Baytown, police said, injuring two first responders. Baytown Fire Department Medic Unit No. 4 was just two blocks from its destination - a car crash scene - when a Cadillac Escalade SUV hit the side of the ambulance at the intersection of North Main and Defee, Baytown officials said.

The vehicle carried two paramedics in the cab; in the rear were a student and a dispatcher doing a ride-along, said Dana Dalbey, the Baytown FD assistant chief in charge of emergency medical services.

The student and dispatcher suffered serious but non-life-threatening injuries. The student presented an altered level of consciousness, Dalbey said, so the student and the dispatcher were flown by air ambulance to the trauma center at Houston's Memorial Hermann Hospital.

FDNY Ambulance Collides with SUV

The ambulance was traveling near the intersection of 19th Street and Eighth Avenue shortly before 1:30 p.m. when the two vehicles collided. It appeared the ambulance hit the SUV’s front-right side. Both vehicles had front-end damage in the crash.
