“While responding to a call, the ambulance was reportedly T-boned at the intersection,” he said.
Everyone in the vehicles got out so no one had to be pulled out, Oquendo said.
Two ambulance personnel were transported to the hospital for an evaluation, he said.
Hartford police are on the scene, handling the investigation, he said.
