Yeah, just heard about this one. Another case of 'Drunk driver with minimal injuries, victims nearly killed'. I hope he gets serious jail time.

I usually feel pretty safe in my rig, but seeing the destruction of the ambulance cab certainly gives me pause.

It's a good thing they weren't transporting a patient at the time.

Would have been better if they were transporting, because although the partner may have been unrestrained in the back, it looks like the passenger compartment was almost completely destroyed.
