According to Warren police, a preliminary investigation shows a Universal Ambulance was traveling north on Hoover approaching the service drive with its emergency lights and sirens activated when it was struck by a Jeep Cherokee.

Police said the Cherokee, occupied by a 33-year-old female driver and her 2-year-old son, had a green light as it traveled west on the service drive.

The Cherokee struck the ambulance on the rear passenger side which led to the ambulance rolling over, investigators said.

A Warren fire rig and police officers responded to the crash scene.

Authorities said the ambulance was occupied by two medics and the patient. All three were transported to the hospital by fire department personnel for further evaluation, but no serious injuries have been reported.

The Cherokee driver and son were checked out at the scene by fire medics where they were found to be shaken up, but otherwise unhurt. Neither of the two were taken to the hospital.
