MANCHESTER, N.H. — An ambulance that was carrying a man who’d been in an earlier car accident was involved in an accident after another car allegedly ran a red light yesterday.
City Fire Battalion Chief Al Poulin said the Rockingham Regional ambulance was spun around by the impact, then drove into the rear of a car parked on Maple Street and ended up striking a porch at 253 Spruce St. at about 7 p.m. yesterday.
No one was injured.
The driver of the car, Christopher Labbe, 26, was charged with running a red light. Police said he entered the intersection of Maple and Spruce streets and hit the ambulance, which was driven by Jennifer Hirschmann, 25.
Police said the ambulance was transporting a patient, whose name they declined to release, to Elliot Hospital. That patient, who had suffered neck and back injuries in an accident at the intersection of Chestnut and Sagamore streets, was not injured further by the second accident, police said.
