Nev. EMT escapes injury after tipping ambulance

Responder was heading to a call when she lost control of the ambulance and rolled down an embankment

WINNEMUCCA, Nev. — A Nev. EMT is fine after she accidentally tipped over the ambulance she was driving to the scene of an accident.

The unidentified Humboldt General Hospital EMT was responding to a motorcycle wreck, following behind another response car, according to the Silver Pinyon Journal.

When she tried to navigate a tight turn, she overcorrected and crossed several highway lanes before coming to a stop in some soft dirt, where the vehicle slowly tipped over down an embankment and landed on its side.

A second ambulance was dispatched to the original call after it was confirmed that the driver of the first ambulance was OK.

The ambulance received minor damage.
