Excerpts from shawlocal.com:
A Minooka ambulance driver has been charged with failing to reduce speed to avoid an accident following a crash at Ridge and Wildy roads on May 23.
The Kendall County Sheriff’s Office handled the investigation because the ambulance is a municipal vehicle, and Jacob Truhlar, 19, received a citation.
According to a news release from the Kendall County Sheriff’s Office, the ambulance was traveling east on Wildy Road about 3 p.m. with its emergency lights and siren activated. As it entered the intersection with Ridge Road, it collided with a vehicle traveling north on Ridge Road.
