Two Escambia County Ambulances Involved In Three-Vehicle Crash
May 25, 2025
Two Escambia County EMS ambulances were involved in a crash Saturday afternoon.
The Florida Highway Patrol said the two ambulances were traveling east on Blue Angel Parkway and approached stopped traffic near Longleaf Creek Drive. The first ambulance stopped, as did a Nissan SUV. The second ambulance driver, a 23-year-old male failed to observe the stopped traffic and collided with the SUV. The collision pushed the SUV into the first ambulance. The driver of the SUV, a 51-year-old Escambia County man was transported to the hospital for evaluation of minor injuries.
The FHP indicated that each ambulance had a passenger, but the report did not indicate if the passengers were EMS staff or patients.

Wonder if phone use was involved for the 23-year-old. If so, send him back to delivering food for door-dash.
Seriously????? I know that few people on the road observe the “move over” requirement for emergency vehicles but the emergency vehicle drivers should know how to drive in those circumstances!!!! The EMT comment above is right on. And, like all major life-preserving skills….you always need practice to stay sharp.
Wonder if a cattle gaurd would have cut the damages down?
I am a Paramedic in another Florida city and that’s just unexcusable. Watch where you’re going at ALL TIMES. My boss would make you go to the FLA. DOT School in Midway, FL/Tallahassee, FL and retake your defensive driving course and road testing classes all over again no matter how long you’ve been an EMT and/or PARAMEDIC. Or just a so-called First Responder, who, by law, can only put a bandaid on a person’s wounds and other minor first aid care. PAY ATTENTION EVERYBODY.
