An ambulance responding to an emergency call became the victim of a shocking collision with a van. Authorities from the Los Angeles Fire Department reported on this incident that left two people severely injured.
The incident occurred while the Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance was crossing an intersection. At that moment, a van collided with the ambulance, generating a strong impact that left both vehicles seriously damaged.
Inside the van were two men who unfortunately sustained severe injuries in the collision. The van, after the impact with the ambulance, crashed into a pole and became trapped in the accident. It was a moment of great distress and confusion at the accident scene.
Despite the intensity of the collision, the two paramedics inside the ambulance managed to quickly and efficiently exit the wrecked vehicle. Once out of the ambulance, they began providing immediate medical care to the two severely injured men inside the van.
The medical care provided by the paramedics was of vital importance to the injured individuals. Both men were transported to a trauma center in critical condition. On the other hand, the paramedics themselves also required medical attention and were taken to a hospital, although their injuries were not life-threatening, as stated in the official Los Angeles Fire Department release.
