Three people were hospitalized after a semitruck driver crashed into an ambulance Saturday, causing the emergency vehicle to flip and hit two other cars in West Englewood.
The truck driver, a 54-year-old man, was traveling north on Ashland Avenue about 11:20 a.m. when he struck the rear passenger side of the ambulance, which was heading east on 63rd Street, Chicago police said.
The ambulance, which was carrying a 64-year-old man, flipped over and struck two sedans, police said.
The ambulance driver, a man whose age wasn’t known, was not injured. The passenger in the ambulance suffered minor injuries and was taken in good condition to University of Chicago Medical Center, police said.
A 59-year-old passenger in one of the sedans and the driver of the other sedan, a 58-year-old woman, suffered minor injuries and were listed in good condition at Holy Cross Hospital and St. Bernard Hospital, police said. The other sedan driver declined medical attention.
The truck driver was not hurt, police said. He was issued a citation for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
It wasn’t clear if the ambulance’s sirens and lights were activated at the time of the crash.
