A Gaz Sobol ambulance overturned following a collision with a Toyota Land Cruiser SUV in Komsomolsk-on-Amur. The incident was reported through a Telegram channel operated by OGIBDD Komsomolsk-on-Amur. According to the account, the Toyota driver, a 36-year-old man with eighteen years of driving experience, was turning left and did not yield to the ambulance, which was proceeding along Lenin with its lights and siren active. The ambulance was headed toward Kotovsky Street at the time of the incident.
The medical vehicle tipped onto its left side, injuring a paramedic and a patient aboard. A video capturing the moment of impact, circulated by the Amur Mash Telegram channel, shows the ambulance colliding with the left rear fender of the SUV. When responders arrived, they observed traces of blood inside the ambulance, indicating injuries sustained by those on board.
In a separate incident reported earlier, a Tyumen Daewoo Nexia reportedly fell into a ditch dug along a highway, illustrating how road conditions and driver decisions can lead to dangerous outcomes for road users in various regions.
