The driver of the SUV jumped out of the vehicle and fled on foot. Hultquist said that as of 2:30 p.m., California Highway Patrol officials had not yet found the driver.

The paramedic in the passenger seat was flown to Arrowhead Regional Medical Center, while the EMT who was driving the ambulance was transported by the AMR supervisor with minor injuries, Hultquist said.

New Fire Apparatus for Naramata Fire Rescue (Canada)

Naramata Fire Rescue will be blessing their shiny new fire truck this weekend. The 2016 Rosenbauer Engine will be officially ready for service after a ceremony on Saturday involving a truck "wet down" and push.

Fire Chief Tony Trovao said they got the new truck because they needed to get their gallon per minute flow up to standard.

They have retired their mini pumper and now have two engines including the new one.

"With two engines pumping 1,250 gallons a minute each, that should meet the need in the growing community. It's just awesome because we now have 42 members, and need to be able to move them all."

The fire chief added they continue to move forward with plans to construct a second fire hall in the area.
