CHICAGO (CBS) — Three people were taken to the hospital Saturday morning after a multi-vehicle crash on the city’s south side.
It happened just before 11:30 a.m. in the 6300 block of South Ashland Avenue.
Chicago police said a semi-truck driven by a 54-year-old man was traveling north on Ashland when it struck the passenger side of an ambulance.
The impact then caused the ambulance to overturn and hit two sedans, one driven by a 31-year-old woman with a 59-year-old passenger inside and the other by a 58-year-old woman.
The passenger in the ambulance, a 64-year-old man, was taken to the University of Chicago Medical Center in good condition with minor injuries. The 59-year-old passenger in the first sedan was taken to Holy Cross Hospital in fair condition with minor injuries.
The 58-year-old driver of the second sedan suffered injuries to her left arm and was taken to St. Benard Hospital in good condition. The 31-year-old refused medical treatment.
The semi driver was not injured, but was cited for failure to yield to an emergency vehicle.
