FDNY EMS Ambulance Accident ( with video)

[prucha25 76]

Happened earlier this evening. Thankfully the crew is fine. Anyone who has worked in EMS can see by the video they were hit in the " sweet spot" in the back tire.

I saw this on NBC and the morons kept emphasizing "The ambulance did not have it's lights and sirens on going to a call" They did not specify if this was a 4 way stop, or light controlled intersection. It appears they stopped for a stop sign and proceded with after checking for cars and it appears that the car that struck them was going perhaps a little too fast. Maybe they should do a little field reporting before hinting it was the ambulance crews fault. J/M/O...
