An ambulance carrying a patient crashed in Vermilion, Ohio March 15, killing the patient and injuring the ambulance's two emergency medical technicians, according to a WJW report.
The North Central EMS ambulance was heading eastbound when the driver reportedly had a medical condition, according to Ohio Highway Patrol Trooper Lt. Brett Gockstetter.
