FDNY Ambulance Crashes En Route to Hospital

Posted: Jun 20, 2016

FDNY Ambulance Crashes En Route to Hospital

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.

Ambulance Carrying Patient Overturns in Holladay (UT) Crash

Police are on scene after a car and an ambulance collided near 4500 S. 1300 E. in Holladay. Investigators have not said if anyone is injured in the crash or released the identities of those involved. All lanes are shut down and drivers should use alternate routes.

Several people are being treated at the hospital after an ambulance rolled during a crash in Holladay Monday morning.

The ambulance was heading through the intersection of 4500 South and 1300 East in Holladay when it was hit by a white Ford Explorer around 09L15 a.m.

The ambulance flipped onto it side and the explorer smashed into a nearby street pole.

The patient was an 88-year-old male who was headed to St. Marks hospital. The patient stayed on the stretcher, but the medic that was with him was tossed around the ambulance. Both were transported to the hospital for evaluation and treatment of minor injuries.

The 39-year-old female driver of the Ford Explorer had two children with her when the crash happened. They received minor injuries and went to the hospital for evaluation.

Unified Police say several witnesses reported the Explorer ran a red light, but investigators say they will use physical evidence at the scene to determine the exact cause.
