VIDEO: A serious crash Saturday night involved an ambulance and fuel tanker truck in Reisterstown.
WMAR-2 News confirmed two paramedics with the Gamber Community Fire Company in Carroll County were involved.
Both were helicoptered to University of Maryland Shock Trauma. Fire spokesman Clay Myers said each member is expected to survive.
The medic crew was traveling with lights and sirens through an intersection at Westminster Pike and Butler Road when they were t-boned.
“I heard a big loud noise,” 9-year-old Juan Hernandez, who lives nearby, said. “I was nervous and speechless because I have never seen this like that.”
“I mean there could have been an explosion that wiped out an entire block,” attorney David Ellin said. “This could have ended up a lot worse.”
At the time of the collision, Myers said the ambulance was headed to a 911 call in neighboring Baltimore County.
Police say other vehicles were involved injuring seven people total. In addition to the injured paramedics, two others were hospitalized.
