As you can see this Ambulance "missed" the road. :-) He was doing a "U" turn and the long grass hid the large ditch that he drove into. Oops. Luckily he did not have a pt on board and wasn't hurt. If you look at the car driving past you can see the
PASSENGER having a good gawk at the ambulance. The comms room got just a few calls about this truck in the ditch. :-)
This one happened a few weeks ago now, but while waiting for his partner one of the paramedics put the truck on the "sensor" for the automatic door. Unfortunately for him the sensor didn't pick up that the truck was parked there and the door came down on top of the truck. It took the mechanics about 3/4 of an hour to get the door to retract off the ambulance so they could drive out.

I had a partner in another state that tried cutting through the grassy median because he missed the turn-off. He got the ambulance stuck. Also, unfortunately for him, there was a pt in the back in cardiac arrest. That happened long before I worked with him, but thankfully now he is no longer in EMS.

You weren't driving were you?
