NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- A woman was killed, and several others were injured, when an ambulance transporting her overturned after it was struck by a vehicle on Staten Island Friday morning, authorities said.
According to officials, the ambulance had just picked up a 35-year-old woman who had been struck by a car while attempting to cross the street and was heading to Richmond University Medical Center for treatment.
A Jeep then crashed into the ambulance at the intersection of Jewett Avenue and Main Avenue in Westerleigh, causing it to overturn onto its side.
