A LEIPZIG, GERMANY, AMBULANCE WAS INVOLVED in a traffic accident on Thursday night that left the ambulance laying on its side and four people injured.
The ambulance was responding to a hospital with a patient when it entered a controlled intersection against the red light. An automobile traveling with the green signal failed to notice the ambulance in time to avoid a collision and struck the unit in the rear section, causing it to roll over.
The 71-yr.-old patient and his companion were both seriously injured. The “orderly” and the emergency doctor, who were both also in the rear, suffered minor injuries. The 26-yr.-old driver of the car and the ambulance driver escaped injury.
Firegeezer notes: Look how well the cot was anchored.
