What Happens in a Crash Involving an Ambulance?
Crashes involving ambulances can create added challenges because emergency vehicles may be responding to calls or traveling through busy intersections. The circumstances can vary depending on whether an ambulance is carrying a patient, responding to an emergency, or traveling without one.
Drivers should remain alert around emergency vehicles and watch for changing traffic conditions. Intersections can become especially difficult to navigate when several vehicles are moving through at the same time.
Information such as traffic signals, vehicle positions, damage patterns, and witness accounts can help establish how a collision occurred. Traffic camera footage may also provide additional details about the sequence of events.
