The ambulance was transporting a 78-year-old woman to the hospital when it was struck by a car that failed to yield to the emergency vehicle at a green light, police said. The car hit the side of the ambulance. Four EMS personnel inside were not injured, but the patient died later at a local hospital.
The driver of the car sustained minor injuries and refused to be taken to the hospital, the report said.
