NORTH Coast Road was the scene of two accidents this evening, after a City Golf crashed into an ambulance while paramedics were attending to an injured pedestrian.
At around 5.30pm a car had struck the 24-year-old man in Redhill near Rinaldo Road, said Kyle van Reenen, of Crisis Medical.
“Whilst emergency service workers were attending to a 24-year-old man who had sustained minor injuries, a vehicle allegedly disregarded the red emergency warning lights of the stationary ambulance, smashing into the rear of it at high speed,” he added.
Van Reenen said the driver of the secondary vehicle sustained moderate injuries and was attended to on scene before being taken to hospital the Crisis Medical team.
The local authorities were on scene and will investigate the incident further.
“We cannot stress enough the importance of scene safety and driver awareness when approaching the scene of an accident,” he said.
