Ambulance flips under Gowanus, injures four

Four people were injured in an accident involving an overturned ambulance on Thursday, August 15 at 5:43 p.m.

A Midwood Ambulance somehow collided with another car and flipped over on the corner of Third Avenue and 61st Street. Fire Department emergency service workers transported three people with minor injuries to Lutheran Medical Center.

Midwood Ambulance also transported a more seriously injured patient to another hospital.

When asked for additional information regarding the fourth patient, a spokesperson for the Fire Department told this paper to contact Midwood Ambulance directly.

It is not clear if there was already a patient being transported in the crashed ambulance or if the vehicle was rushing to a scene. The FDNY also referred that question to Midwood Ambulance.

A spokesperson for the ambulance company did not respond to repeated requests for comment.
