Excerpts from the ChicagoTribune.com:
A senior paramedic with the Aurora Fire Department has been ticketed for running a red light in Naperville earlier this month, causing a crash that toppled the ambulance he was driving and sent a woman’s car hurtling into a row of parked vehicles.
John A. Nagy, a 22-year veteran of the fire department was cited for disobeying a traffic control signal in the Jan. 3 collision, Deputy Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres said Tuesday. The ambulance was returning to the station after dropping off a patient.
He and a fellow paramedic were slightly injured in the incident. The woman who was driving the car remained last week in Edward Hospital in stable condition and with non-life-threatening injuries.
Police investigators have determined neither alcohol nor narcotics figured in the crash. Nagy was placed on administrative leave following the crash, pending the outcome of the police investigation.
