AN AMBULANCE IN CAPE MAY COUNTY, NEW JERSEY, CRASHED into a car Tuesday afternoon while being driven by a person who was responding to a fire without being dispatched.
Cape May Herald / Joe Hart
The driver of the Middle Township Ambulance heard the fire dispatch for a fire at his father’s house, so he got into the ambulance with another man and sped away without any authorization. When he was just two blocks from the fire scene he collided with an SUV, entrapping and injuring the driver and injuring the passenger of the ambulance. The ambulance passenger only suffered minor injuries, but the driver of the SUV had to be airlifted to the hospital.
It turned out that the ambulance driver’s father died in the fire that he was responding to.
