Patient in ambulance that crashed on I-75 has died
DAYTON - One of three people transported by Dayton Fire medics to Miami Valley Hospital after a private ambulance crashed into a concrete retaining wall on Interstate 75 has died, according to police.
The single-vehicle crash happened just before noon and south of the Edwin C. Moses Boulevard exit, Asst. Fire Chief Jim Beech said. An American Ambulance tried to avoid some cardboard boxes that fell from a truck and crashed into a concrete retaining wall of bridge over the Great Miami River.
A female 66-year-old kidney dialysis patient in the ambulance died after being taken to Miami Valley Hospital. It is unclear if the patient died from injuries sustained in the crash or because of medical issues.
Lt. Robert Chabali said investigators will have to await an autopsy to determine the woman’s cause of death.
Two other people inside the ambulance suffered minor injuries, Beech said.
Traffic on Interstate 75 was shut down to one lane for at least 45 minutes as crews cleaned up the accident.
