An ambulance transporting two victims of a two-vehicle accident was hit by a third vehicle as it was preparing to leave the crash site in northwest Denver. According to Denver Police Department spokesman Sonny Jackson, the two-vehicle accident occurred at the intersection of West 8th Avenue and Federal Boulevard at around 12:35 p.m. on Thursday, January 2.
Just as the ambulance was trying to leave the scene of the accident and head towards a hospital, another vehicle crashed into it, striking its front right side, said Denver Health Medical Center spokeswoman Cindy Matthews.
The ambulance, despite being hit, proceeded to the hospital since two seriously-injured people, an adult and a child, from the first accident were in the vehicle. It returned to the scene of the crash after getting the pair safely to the hospital.
A third ambulance responded to the accident site, but did not take anyone to get medical treatment.
