FALL RIVER, Mass. — Emergency crews in Fall River were called to an accident scene to help one of their own Tuesday afternoon.

An ambulance was involved in an accident with a car around 12:30 p.m. at the corner of Plymouth Ave. and Peckham St. The ambulance was responding to a 911 call, when it ended up crashing into a fence.

Officials say the preliminary investigation shows a female driver of another car hit the rescue, causing the truck to veer off the road and into a driveway. It took out some bushes and a fence, coming to a rest against a car in the driveway of 1144 Plymouth Avenue.
