MINNEAPOLIS — Within a matter of minutes Saturday morning, two Hennepin County Medical Center ambulances were involved in separate crashes.
The first happened at Olson Memorial Highway and Lyndale Avenue North in Minneapolis around 3:15 a.m. when an ambulance crashed into a Rainbow Taxi Cab. Police said the taxi driver was cited for not yielding to an emergency vehicle.
Less than 15 minutes later, the second crash happened at the intersection of 7th Street and 5th Avenue when a minivan hit an ambulance that was responding to the first crash. In that crash, witnesses told police they saw 30-year-old Kartaris Harris driving his minivan without his lights on.
