Richmond, VA – Three members of a Richmond Ambulance Authority crew were among seven people injured in back-to-back crashes at Leigh and Belvidere streets this morning.
Authorities said the ambulance crew members had responded to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection and had just loaded a patient into their rig when it was struck by another vehicle.
The three ambulance crew members, their patient and three people in the car that struck their rig were all transported to the hospital, said Chip Decker, chief operating officer for the ambulance authority.
Decker said the three ambulance crew members and their patient were all in the back of the rig when it was struck.
It did not appear that any members of the ambulance crew were seriously injured; the severity of the injuries to the other four people could not be immediately determined, Decker said.
The first crash occurred about 9:30 and involved a tractor-trailer and white bucket truck, police said. The other vehicle involved in the second crash, which occurred about 20 minutes later, appeared to be a cream-colored Buick Park Avenue.
