MILWAUKEE — Milwaukee Police are investigating an overnight crash that injured two employees inside an on-duty Bell Ambulance and also the driver of the car that caused the accident, who did not hold a valid driver’s license.
According to police, the unlicensed female driver of a Pontiac Grand Am was driving at a high rate of speed southbound on the 27th Street viaduct at about 1 a.m. Friday when she swerved into the northbound lane and clipped a northbound Bell Ambulance carrying two female employees and a female patient, who was being transferred home. The ambulance lost control and struck a southbound Chrysler 300 almost head-on, police said in a news release.
The two female ambulance workers suffered very minor injuries, but the adult female patient was not injured. The two adult males in the Chrysler 300 were not injured, and neither were the two adult female passengers in the Pontiac. The Pontiac driver’s injuries are non life-threatening.
Police said the investigation of the accident is ongoing.
