An ambulance rushing a girl to a medical center was rear-ended by an SUV on Presidente Antonio Guzmán Avenue in La Herradura, Santiago.

Witnesses said the SUV’s driver apparently lost control while taking a curve and crashed into the back of the emergency vehicle. The ambulance then struck a motorcyclist traveling along the road.

The motorcyclist was preliminarily reported injured. The collision also damaged the vehicles involved and caused traffic problems on the avenue.

Because the damaged ambulance had been handling the girl’s emergency, a second unit was brought in to continue the response.
