GWINNETT COUNTY, Ga. — Gwinnett County Police are on the scene of an accident involving an ambulance and another car along Jimmy Carter Boulevard Thursday afternoon. Officials said it was a "serious injury accident."
The crash happened at the intersection of Jimmy Carter Boulevard and Quails Lake Village Lane in Norcross just after 3 p.m., police said. Police said they are still gathering details about how the crash happened. Several lanes on Jimmy Carter Boulevard were closed.
No one inside the Gwinnett County Fire Department ambulance was injured and the driver of the other car was rushed to the hospital where they are being treated for their injuries, police said.
The initial investigation shows that the ambulance was responding to an emergency with its lights and sirens on while driving east on Jimmy Carter Boulevard. As the car was turning left across lanes onto the westbound lanes, the ambulance was simultaneously forced to drive in the center lanes to avoid traffic when it collided into the driver's side of the sedan.
There were no patients in the back of the ambulance, Gwinnett Police said.
The intersection is near a Gwinnett Urgent Care and Bukanas Sports Bar.
