A woman headed to the hospital following an early morning crash on Staten Island died Friday after the ambulance she was riding in got T-boned blocks from the first crash site, police said.
Investigators said the ambulance was struck less than three blocks from where first responders picked up the injured pedestrian. Police said she had been struck by the driver of a Dodge Charger; no charges were announced.
Around 6:30 a.m., the ambulance, traveling the wrong way down a street and attempting to cross through an intersection, was T-boned by the driver of a Jeep near Jewett Avenue and Maine Avenue, according to police.
Everyone inside the ambulance when it toppled over was rushed to the hospital, as well as the driver of the Jeep, police said. Three injured EMS members were said to be in serious condition, but expected to recover.
