OCALA, Fla. —Two ambulance-related crashes in less than a week have forced Marion County Fire Rescue officials to issue a reminder about Florida’s Move Over law.
A Marion County Fire Rescue ambulance was taking a patient to the hospital last Friday in Ocala when a van slammed into it at the intersection of Pine Avenue and 10th Street, sending the ambulance hurdling on its side toward a gas station. The paramedic in the back who was treating a patient was taken to a nearby hospital in critical condition.
Three days later, a car crashed into a Marion County Fire Rescue ambulance along State Road 200. There was a patient inside the ambulance at the time of the crash. The crashed brought back vivid memories for Brent Murray, a Marion County firefighter and paramedic.
