Ambulance in Adelaide crashes and flips at intersection

An ambulance has crashed and rolled onto its side while travelling through a busy Adelaide intersection, hospitalising two crew members.

The ambulance was responding to an elderly woman who had a fall in Seacombe Gardens when it traveled through the intersection about 11.25am on Tuesday.

A car collided with the ambulance and flipped it onto its side at the corner of Sturt and Marion roads.

The two crew members were taken to Flinders Medical Centre where they are in a stable condition.

An SA Ambulance spokesperson told Daily Mail Australia the vehicle had its siren on as it traveled through the intersection.

Adelaide man Eduardo Penna, 45, was driving the car that crashed into the ambulance, according to The Advertiser.

‘I was driving through the intersection and then the ambulance ran through the red light and I couldn’t stop,’ he told the newspaper.

‘It was all of a sudden and something I did not expect — it was very fast. Just all of a sudden, I saw the car and I couldn’t break in time so we crashed.’

Outbound lanes on Sturt Road were blocked for 45 minutes as crews cleared the area, police said.

Police said they are investigating the crash.
