Four people, including two paramedics, were seriously injured Thursday afternoon in a three-vehicle collision involving an ambulance on a Kearny Mesa street, authorities said.
The crash in the 4200 block of Kearny Villa Road occurred about 2:15 p.m., according to the San Diego Fire-Rescue Department.
Two emergency personnel in the American Medical Response ambulance and two occupants of an Infiniti sedan wound up trapped in the crumpled vehicles, SDFRD Battalion Chief Matt Nilsen told reporters. Firefighters freed the victims and took them to Sharp Memorial Hospital, along with a fifth person who suffered less serious trauma in the wreck.
