A JAMESTOWN, NORTH DAKOTA, AMBULANCE was carrying a patient to Fargo Monday afternoon when it hit an icy patch on a bridge. It was traveling eastbound on I-94 and when it hit the ice it went out of control, did a complete rollover and landed on its wheels in the westbound lanes.

The Fargo Forum reports:
The elderly male remained in the gurney when the ambulance turned over, but he did suffer a head injury from being struck with debris…
The two ambulance personnel in the back appeared to suffer head, neck and back injuries, (police) said. “They were tossed around pretty good,” he said.
All three were taken to MeritCare Hospital in Fargo. The extent of their injuries was unknown, but Hischer said all three were talking at the scene. The driver was not taken to the hospital.
There were a large number of accidents on the highway during that same time period, taxing the state police officers. Large stretches of it were covered with glare ice.
