Emergency responders were called to the intersection of Morgan Avenue and Santa Fe Street about 2:30 p.m. Thursday for the wreck. A 69-year-old man in a white Toyota Camry ran a red light while driving south on Santa Fe, Corpus Christi Lt. Timothy Frazier said. The ambulance, which had three passengers including a patient, was struck and flipped onto an SUV stopped at a red light.

"It was terrifying," the 42-year-old driver of the SUV, Jennifer Scarrow said. She said her 7-year-old daughter was taken to the hospital because she was cut by glass, but herself, her husband and her mother sustained no major injuries.

Bristol, Tennessee leaders approved next year’s 99 million dollar budget Tuesday night, allowing construction to begin on a new sub station near the Pinnacle shopping complex and Bristol Regional Medical Center.

The plan is to build a station on vacant land near National College.

Bristol, Tennessee Fire Chief Bob Barnes said they are one of the only stations in the state of Tennessee that runs fire and EMS calls. Right now it would take them about 8 minutes to respond to the Pinnacle complex area. The closest station is located on 17th street.

Barnes hopes with the construction of a new fire station, they can cut response times down anywhere from to two to five minutes.

Dr. Mark Woodard at Bristol Regional Medical Center works with Bristol paramedics daily, and said they are seeing more accidents that occur close to the hospital due to the boom in business and development. He said the new fire station would be a great asset to the hospital.

The old station, built in the 1960s on Depot Street near the town office, had been in really bad shape.

Because of holes, the station would get flooded when it rained. This led to a black mold problem that couldn’t be remediated, he said.

Princeton’s selectmen applied for a grant to pay for a new station, but it was pulled at the last minute, said Selectman Jason Theriault.

The town set aside $100,000 a year for five years to pay for the $500,000 new station, he said.

The new facility measures 50 feet by 85 feet and features three bays in the front plus additional storage behind those bays. All of the fire department’s five trucks fit nicely, Ramsdell said.
