BUCKINGHAM TOWNSHIP, Pa. — One Pennsylvania ambulance unit narrowly missed a disaster Friday morning thanks to the quick thinking of the driver.
A Central Bucks Ambulance and Rescue Unit was heading northbound on York Road in Buckingham when a chunk of ice struck the windshield.
“It was scary,” said Scott Henley, deputy chief paramedic who was driving the ambulance. “Luckily I saw it coming and I was able to at least have a couple seconds to figure something out.” The ice hit the windshield at 11:37 a.m. when a tree-trimming truck covered in snow passed the unit heading southbound, he said. Henley and his partner, Stephanie D’Andrea, were transporting a patient when the accident occurred. The damage forced Henley to pull the unit over and wait for a second ambulance to arrive to continue the transport.
