heavy duty vs an ambo- ambo rolled

on Friday night, a heavy duty wrecker was involved in an accident with a Chicago fire department ambulance. the heavy was traveling s/b on central ave and crossing 63 rd St when it struck the ambo. the ambo was responding to an incident at the time with their light and sirens on. they did not have any patients on board at the time. after the ambo rolled, the 2 paramedics had to be cut out of the cab. no one was seriously hurt.

i blocked out the name of the wrecker and for the record:  it was NOT O'HARE towing. this accident really could have happened to anyone. this happened at an intersection next to the airport next to the landing runway, in the short time i was there taking pics, when a plane came in for a landing, it drowned out every other sound. also, the ambo came from  a blind direction, no way the wrecker could have seen it. also, whatever siren was audible would have been bouncing off buildings- very confusing. i do not fault the driver of the wrecker.  

i think the ambo hit the heavy as it was being uprighted. the heavy could not be moved.





Recoveries really aut to be left up to the trained profesionals
