Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
A Beach Park man who apparently ran out in front of an ambulance early Sunday morning is in serious condition at a Libertyville hospital.
The Lake County sheriff’s office said in a statement the pedestrian was in the area of Sheridan and Beach roads in Beach Park around 1:30 a.m. when he suddenly ran out in front of the northbound Zion Fire Department ambulance. Paramedics immediately attended to the patient.
The ambulance was on its way back from dropping off a patient at a hospital when the incident occurred. The preliminary investigation indicates the pedestrian ran into the path of the ambulance that did not have its emergency lights and sirens activated.
No charges have been filed at this time pending toxicology results, said the sheriff’s report. The sheriff’s Technical Crash Investigation Unit is conducting the investigation.
