GREENVILLE, S.C. — An ambulance taking a victim of another crash to an area hospital became involved in a crash itself on Monday morning.
Anderson County dispatchers told FOX Carolina that the ambulance was carrying a patient from a separate crash, when it was sideswiped at about 5 a.m. They said the crash sent the ambulance into a car wash at the intersection of Highway 81 and White Horse Road.
A second ambulance came to take the victim of the original crash to Greenville Memorial Hospital, and rescuers involved in the second wreck were checked out as well.
The original accident happened about 15 minutes earlier and five miles away in Anderson County. One person had to be cut out of the wreckage after the single-car wreck on Highway 81.
Both the driver and a passenger were taken to Greenville Memorial Hospital. Their conditions were not immediately released.
The South Carolina Highway Patrol is investigating both crashes. There is no word on what might have caused either one, or of any charges.
