No injuries were reported in a crash that involved a Chicago Fire Department ambulance and a sport utility vehicle Friday morning in Park Ridge.
The ambulance, which was transporting a patient, was headed north on Cumberland Avenue around 8:30 a.m. when it hit the SUV at Belle Plaine Avenue, said Park Ridge Deputy Police Chief Lou Jogmen.
The SUV was headed east on Belle Plaine and it ended up on the lawn of a home at the northeast corner of the intersection, which is four-way stop for traffic.
Jogmen said he was told the ambulance had its lights and sirens activated at the time of the crash. Park Ridge paramedics responded to the scene and completed the transport of the ambulance’s patient.

wow that is kinda of a rare sight I would say because usally the suburb rigs don’t go in the city and the city usally don’t go in the suburbs but in some cases it happens brothers and sisters helping one another that likely made a lot of sense since pk ridge is right down the street and cfd a2 was likely on another call at the time great job
