CHICAGO (CBS) – One person is hurt after a car crashed into an ambiance in West Town Tuesday night.
Police said around 11:30 p.m., a driver sped through a red light at Chicago and Noble around and t-boned an ambulance.
Both vehicles were badly damaged in the impact.
A witness in another vehicle saw the whole situation unfold.
That witness tells us paramedics in the damaged ambulance were able to get the other driver out of the car and render aid.
“I see the ambulance coming though, and then all I see is her hitting the ambulance like that, and I just saw the ambulance fly away to this side,” said Ricardo Astorga. “She was unconscious, her nose was bleeding, she wasn’t responding, she wasn’t answering the questions.”
The driver was taken to Northwestern Hospital to be treated for minor injuries.
Police say she will be issued a traffic citation.
A paramedic in the ambulance suffered a broken collarbone but will be okay.
No further information was immediately available.
