One person was killed and two were injured in a crash between an SUV and an ambulance Tuesday evening. An SUV collided with an ambulance shortly after 6 p.m. Tuesday, north of the intersection of 25th Street and Virginia Avenue, a Fort Pierce Police news release said. The SUV’s driver, Germaine Lindor, 63, of Port St. Lucie, was pronounced dead at the scene. The ambulance’s driver, St. Lucie County firefighter William Hines, and a passenger, Christopher Doyle, were transported to Lawnwood Regional Medical Center. Hines was treated and released, while Doyle was in critical condition, the release said. CBS 12 reported Wednesday evening that Doyle’s left leg was injured so badly that doctors had to amputate. According to the police release, the SUV was traveling north on 25th street when it entered the intersection and collided with the passenger side of the ambulance. The impact tipped the ambulance over on its driver side and caused it to spin around, the release said. |
