CHESTER, Pa. — Two Pennsylvania paramedics were seriously injured in a crash between an ambulance and a school bus Wednesday morning.
Two Crozer Health paramedics and a Delaware County Memorial Hospital nurse were in the ambulance traveling on I-95 as it collided with the bus, according to the Delaware County Daily Times. There were no patients in the ambulance at the time and no children in the school bus, officials said.
