VIDEO: An ambulance crashed in Denverโs Montbello neighborhood on Memorial Day morning while en route to a call, and later in the day, a South Metro Fire Rescue engine was also involved in a crash. Both vehicles had been โrunning emergent,โ or displaying lights and sirens while moving, when they were involved in the crashes.
The first crash involved the Denver ambulance and reportedly occurred on Andrews Drive just east of Peoria Street at about 11:53 a.m. Preliminary information showed that there could be injuries, but a public information officer was unsure of what extent. SkyFOX flew over the scene and saw that a passenger vehicle had crashed into a nearby fence. There were no patients inside the ambulance, but the driver of the other vehicle was taken to a hospital for evaluation of potential injuries. Itโs unclear if any charges are being considered in the matter.
On Monday evening, South Metro Fire Rescue reported one of its crews was also involved in a crash while displaying lights and sirens, this time at C-470 and Santa Fe Drive, which is in Littleton near Chatfield State Park.
