This afternoon, while emergently transporting a patient, our unit 3L11 was involved in an accident in downtown Springfield. Another one of our units, already in Springfield, responded immediately and completed the patient transport. Both of our crew members were taken to the hospital by America Ambulance for evaluation and treatment of minor injuries. Fortunately, everyone involved — including the patient — is safe, with only minor injuries reported.
3L11 took the brunt of the impact, but as we always say: ambulances can be replaced, people can't.
A sincere thank you to America Ambulance and their crews for their quick response, and especially to their Director of Operations, Rob Bajier, for going above and beyond to support us.
