BULLITT COUNTY, Ky. — Two Bullitt County EMS providers and their patient were recovering in a hospital Wednesday after a semitruck crashed into the back of the ambulance they were in on Interstate 65.
The two providers had just loaded the patient, who was injured in a separate accident, into the ambulance when the semi struck the back of the vehicle.
The three were trapped briefly, but firefighters extricated them.
The semi driver was not injured in the crash, WLKY reported.
