On Sunday, April 19, an ambulance was responding to a crash in southwest Omaha when it was involved in an accident.
According to the Omaha Police Department the first accident happened shortly after 5 p.m. on 118th Street when the driver of a 2012 Toyota Camry, 37 year old Rachel L. Willis lost control of the vehicle as it was traveling northbound and collided with a utility pole. The car left the roadway and overturned before colliding with a second metal light pole and coming to a halt on a grassy embankment near a car wash.
Willis had critical and life threatening injuries and one of the passengers, 25 year old Tanya M. Arellano also had serious injuries which were not thought to be life threatening. The third person in the vehicle was also seriously injured. All three were taken to Nebraska Medicine. None were wearing seat belts. At this time both speed and alcohol are thought to be factors in the collision.
As medics were on their way to the scene, the ambulance was making a U-turn with lights and sirens were on, when it also was involved in a collision. No one was seriously hurt in that crash.
