NASSAU, Bahamas — An unidentified man stole an ambulance, crashed it into two vehicles and finally slammed it into a home Saturday night.
EMTs responded to a call for a medical emergency. As soon as they left the vehicle toassist an elderly woman, a young man jumped into the ambulance and sped off, Tribune 242 reported.
A short while later, the man collided into two vehicles, but continued to drive until he crashed into a home causing significant damage, Assistant Commissioner of Police Stephen Dean said. The man then fled the area on foot and police are currently looking for him.
When one of the EMTs returned to the ambulance a neighbor informed them that a male had “jumped into the vehicle and drove off.”
Another ambulance was dispatched to transport the patient to the hospital.
The ambulance, commissioned in 2012, was valued at $123,000 and incurred damage to the front driver’s side, according to the Public Hospitals Authority.
