Fail: Ambulance crashes on way to Ambulance crash

In a seriously bad dose of karma, a Minneapolis ambulance rushing to the scene of an ambulance crash has crashed.

The first ambulance crash involved a taxi that didn’t get out of the way at 3:15am Saturday morning. 15 minutes later the second ambulance called to attend to injuries in the first ambulance crash hit a minivan driving without its lights on.

A spokesman for the ambulance operator told local media that an ambulance accident “creates a domino effect in which medical resources are reduced and people in need of medical attention are impacted,” although I’m not sure he meant more ambulances would crash.

Three people involved in the two ambulance crashes were taken to hospital by a third ambulance that managed (third time lucky) to get to both scenes without hitting anything.
