PSL woman killed in ambulance crash was speeding, witnesses say - Florida
Witnesses said a Port St. Lucie woman was speeding before a crash that killed her and injured two others when she crashed into an ambulance at a Fort Pierce intersection late Tuesday afternoon.
The crash happened shortly after 6 p.m. at Virginia Avenue and 25th Street, according to Fort Pierce police spokeswoman Audria Moore.
An ambulance, driven by St. Lucie County Firefighter William Hines, was at the intersection of Virginia Avenue and 25th Street to make a left turn onto 25th Street, when a Nissan SUV, driven by Germaine Lindor, 63, of the 2600 block of NW Hatches Harbor Road, Port St. Lucie, entered the intersection and collided with the passenger side of the ambulance, according to Moore.
The impact tipped the ambulance over on its driver side and caused it to spin around and skid on its side for about 50 feet. The SUV continued traveling north on 25th Street until it came to a stop.
Witness William Kelly said Lindor's SUV was traveling at a high rate of speed before the crash.
