EMT student injured in rollover ambulance crash in Colorado
An ambulance that was responding to an emergency call in Boulder rolled onto its side on Friday after being struck by car, according to a statement by the Boulder Police Department.
The accident occurred at approximately 1:30 PM, at the intersection of Arapahoe Avenue and 55th Street.
The ambulance was reportedly struck by a 25-year-old male driver in a Chevy Impala.
“There were no patients inside the ambulance, but an EMT student who was riding in the back suffered minor injuries,” officials said.
The Impala driver has since been issued a summons for careless driving causing injury and failure to yield the right of way to an emergency vehicle, police said.
“The original call for medical help was not impacted as another nearby ambulance responded,” officials reported.
