ELYRIA, Ohio- A man steals an ambulance from outside a hospital emergency room, taking it on a short joyride before ditching it a few miles away. Part of the trip is captured by a dash mounted camera.
Just before 3:30 a.m. Tuesday, two ambulances were parked in the emergency room area at University Hospitals Elyria Medical Center.
“A gentleman walked up, he went in one ambulance, actually sat in the driver’s seat and realized there was a paramedic sitting in the passenger seat, ran out of it, jumped into another ambulance, who had just dropped off a patient, and took it for a ride,” said Herb de la Porte, vice president of Lifecare Ambulance, Inc.
