AN AMBULANCE IN DARMSTADT, GERMANY, was responding to the hospital with lights and siren on when, as it was passing through a controlled intersection, an auto crossing the road clipped the ambulance in the rear-side causing it to careen across the road into a ditch where it rolled over.
Six people were injured including the driver of the car and five people in the ambulance (the driver, attendant, emergency doctor, the patient and his companion). Four of them were seriously injured including the 82-yr.-old patient who required an air ambulance to take him to a hospital in Frankfurt.
The accident occurred shortly after noon on Monday at a controlled intersection. The Darmstadt-Dieburg fire units responding had to use extrication equipment to free the passengers from the ambulance. There is no early report on what the cause was or who had the green light at the intersection.
The Darmstadt-Dieburg fire department website has the STORY.
