An ambulance driver and passenger were injured in a crash that also involved a dump truck Friday, Sept. 18, on Interstate 70 in Wright City, according to the Missouri State Highway Patrol.
The crash happened at 10:25 a.m. when the 2022 Ford F550 ambulance, which was on an emergency run traveling eastbound, passed a 2021 Western Star 4700SF dump truck, according to the crash report.
The ambulance was a Warren County Ambulance District vehicle, according to Shelly Alcorn, deputy chief of operations for the district.
The ambulance attempted to change from the left lane to the exit ramp at Wildcat Drive, crossed a part of the roadway not meant for vehicle travel at the exit ramp, and struck a barrier, according to the highway patrol. The ambulance then returned to the right lane of I-70, directly in the path of the dump truck, which rear-ended the ambulance.
The driver of the ambulance, a 43-year-old Troy woman, and her passenger, a 28-year-old Warrenton man, were both transported by Warren County Ambulance District personnel toSSM Health St. Joseph Hospital - Lake St. Louis for treatment of minor injuries. The driver of the dump truck, a 27-year-old Elsberry man, was apparently uninjured.
The Missouri State Highway Patrol no longer releases the names of the occupants involved in injury crashes.
