Four people were hospitalized Thursday afternoon after an ambulance crashed into a home in Burlington County, N.J.
The crash happened at around 3:30 p.m. in Mount Holly, roughly 25 miles northeast of Philadelphia. Video taken from helicopters at the scene showed the emergency vehicle partially wedged into the corner of the house on the 900 block of Woodlane Road.
Those who were injured include one person inside the home at the time of the crash, the driver of the ambulance, an EMT and the patient in the ambulance, according to Mount Holly Township police. All of injuries are believed to be non-life-threatening.
The exact circumstances and cause of the crash are currently under investigation, though police said there were no signs of criminal activity.
According to Burlington County dispatch, the private ambulance was involved in a crash with three other vehicles before smashing into the house. TriCare Medical Transportation said the ambulance was doing a non-emergency transport from a hospital when the incident occurred.
“We are fully cooperating with local law enforcement and other relevant agencies as they investigate the circumstances surrounding this incident. A full internal review is also underway,” the company said in a statement.
The home was evacuated out of caution while the damage is assessed.
