Ms. Cruz said two other EMTs who were in the ambulance got out on their own. The driver, whose hand and pelvis were injured in the crash, had to be extricated from the ambulance by first responders. She was in stable condition, Ms. Cruz said.

The driver of the other vehicle involved was uninjured, she said, and paramedics transported a passenger from that car in stable condition.
