Balga: Paramedics escape injury after St John ambulance collides with Mercedes-Benz on Wanneroo Road

A pair of paramedics have escaped injury after their ambulance rolled in a crash while responding to an emergency overnight. Police are investigating the collision — between an ambulance and a Mercedes-Benz sedan— at the intersection of Beach and Wanneroo Roads about 11.55pm on Thursday. “The impact of the collision caused the ambulance to roll onto its side”, a police spokeswoman said. “The 25-year-old female driver of the St John Ambulance vehicle and a 26-year-old male passenger were uninjured.” It is reported they were taken to hospital as a precaution. Police said no patients were in the ambulance at the time. The driver of the Mercedes, a 53-year-old man, was also uninjured. A St John WA spokeswoman confirmed the paramedics were travelling to a priority one job under lights and sirens before the crash. Another crew was subsequently dispatched to the job. St John WA sent additional crews to the crash, with police now investigating the incident.
