The 62-yr.-old driver died on the scene after driving into the side of the ambulance which was not on an emergency call. The traffic signal had just been installed 12 days previously, replacing a 4-way flashing signal that had been operating at the crossing for more than 20 years before. Police believe that an umfamiliarity with the new signal may have been a factor in the wreck, but it has not yet been determined which vehicle was traveling on the green signal.
