While attempting to transport a car crash victim to a hospital on Wednesday morning, a Los Angeles Fire Department ambulance was struck by another vehicle, authorities said.

When a battalion chief arrived at the scene to investigate the crash, they were involved in another collision at the same intersection.

    Was hoping it was an area in LA I knew, but nah. I’ve seen a ton of close calls with emergency vehicles though, distracted driving seems worse than ever but what I don’t get is how they don’t hear the sirens. Are vehicles more sound insulated now or something?

      Yup, if you lay down on your horn, it’s barely an inconvenience to you, but it is loud as fuck to everyone else outside the car. Besides, people are usually listening to song/podcasts as well
