Cardiac Patient Dies After SUV Hits Ambulance

INDIANAPOLIS (AP) – Authorities say a patient in cardiac arrest has died after the ambulance transporting the patient was struck by another vehicle a few blocks from a downtown Indianapolis hospital.

The Wayne Township Fire Department says the crash injured two firefighters, a medic and an emergency medical technician.
