What we know

A news release from the Hennepin EMS Public Information Office said the ambulance was responding to a non-urgent call without any lights or sirens and was “following normal traffic patterns.” The ambulance, which was an advanced life support unit, was staffed by two paramedics.

The ambulance crew then reported at about 4:24 a.m. that they were involved in a ****** and requested help while they began to render aid. Officials say police, firefighters and three additional ambulances then responded to the scene.

A total of five people were then taken to area hospitals for evaluation, including the two paramedics, who have since been released from the hospital, Hennepin EMS officials said.

The news release states the ambulance was eastbound on Lake Street West in Minneapolis when “a westbound sedan entered the eastbound lanes prior to the ******.”

Minneapolis police say three of the people in the sedan were taken to the hospital for non-life-threatening injuries and no arrests were made.

What we don’t know

No reason was given for why the westbound sedan entered the eastbound lanes.

Further details on the ****** are still being investigated.
