Ambulance Backs Over, Kills Pedestrian

 

A 79-YR.-OLD WOMAN WAS KILLED SATURDAY EVENING when a St. Paul, Minnesota, Fire Department ambulance struck her while backing down an alleyway.  The ambulance had responded to a call involving a car that had gone through a fence in the area and it was positioning closer to the accident scene.

The woman apparently was unaware of the ambulance’s presence and stepped out into its path.  The ambulance knocked her down and pinned her underneath, killing her immediately.  An investigation is continuing into the incident.

The St. Paul Pioneer Press has the DETAILS.
