That would suck to work on your own family member! For some reason, this was the episode that stuck in my mind. In fact, I was just talking about this the other day. Thank you for posting!
our box style ambulance isnt used for rescue calls we use it for swift water but shit they shouldnt turn over that easy if they do then ours should have turned over douzens of time but they should have taken one of the the primarys they are more stable if they get hit like that
that's awful! people need to be more careful... you're supposed to pull over if you even hear a siren. and that poor paramedic and patient... talk about the worst day of your life!
The cop's guess that the car was going to clip the ambulance and the actual result went together just like "holy" and "shit," which were the only 2 words I could utter when I saw the ambulance overturn.
Did anyone else notice that the ambulance wasn't really much of an ambulance. I work on the vans, but ours are bigger and designed for transport, but that was like a plumber's van with lights and a stretcher... They probably just used it for the recreation (cheaper to wreck)
Even back then, ambulances were much larger than that. It was probably indeed a van pulled out of a used car shop and repainted to look like an ambulance. I don't think they would want to have to rebuild or scrap a second ambulance...
some do and some don't. Here in Midlothian, IL they use vans(Ford E350, same model as the one in this clip.) In the next clip, the rescuers that come to get them use Ford F-350 trucks.
allgood plz can u post more rescue 911 videos plz o plz! and i wonder how far they were from the notre dame college? cuz it is also in sounthbend indiana. and also bad video quality:(
Yeah that is correct. But in this case the car ran a red light while the ambulance had a green light, yes? It was a little difficult to tell from the video..
Yes, the ambulance had a green light. You can tell because the cop said the car was approaching St. Joe street, and the ambulance was driving down St. Joe Street. The street sign next to the stoplight that turned red said St. Joseph street, so that means the street that intersected St. Joseph street had the red light.
makes ya wonder how some people get a fucking licence

I hate when people don't move out of the road for emergency vehicles it's so rude. Firefighters, Policemen and Paramedics are amazing!!!

Now a days, they have these blinking strobe lights on top of the traffic light that causes it to change when emergency vehicles approach

Pull over to the right side of the road and STOP when an emergency vehicle is approaching. It's the law.

that dumbass driver of the car needs to be charged with wreckless endangerment, wreckless driving, and if at all possible vehicular assualt.

McGann Ambulance Service had ambulance's that looked like vans, but were not. I believe these types of ambulance cant be used anymore.
