A HOUSTON, TEXAS, MEDICAL RESPONSE UNIT was involved in an accident at 4:30 Thursday afternoon that knocked the truck onto its top.
KHOU-TV
The paramedic unit was following an ambulance to the hospital that was transporting a patient that the FD unit’s paramedic was working on. Both vehicles had their lights and sirens on, but when the ambulance passed through an intersection, an anxious driver pulled out and into the path of the second truck, striking it and knocking it over.
The driver of the private car was charged with failing to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle.
The Houston Chronicle has the STORY.
Firegeezer notes: This is almost identical to an ambulance crash on January 4 that took place in Rochester, New Hampshire. See the Firegeezer report HERE.
