Authorities in New Jersey say an EMT was killed when a car collided with an ambulance heading to a call in a neighboring town.
Hinal Patel, an EMT on her last shift before starting medical school, was in the Spotswood ambulance's front passenger seat when the crash occurred shortly before 8 a.m. Saturday in East Brunswick.
Authorities say the 22-year-old Piscataway resident and a colleague were on their way to assist at a car accident in East Brunswick.
The ambulance had its emergency lights and sirens activated, and no patients were inside. A car driven by 58-year-old Kathleen Meade of East Brunswick struck the ambulance in an intersection, overturning the emergency vehicle and causing it to slide into another car, killing Patel.
