MOON TOWNSHIP, Pa. — A Pa. medic and patient were rescued after almost falling over a hillside.

Firefighters responded to the call Sunday night, when an ambulance transporting a patient had accidentally backed up too far, according to WPXI.

McCarthy said the 90-minute ordeal was tense as the ambulance hung on the hillside and the patient and medic were removed from the vehicle.
