Tragically one child lost their life due to the injuries they sustained. The other child is in critical condition after striking the ambulance.
This tragic event occurred at 7:15 p.m. on Tuesday, April 15th near South 13th Street and Wheeler Avenue. According to reports, a Trans Care ambulance was responding to a call involving a single car accident. Sadly, as they began to head to the scene while still moving slowly, an accident occurred involving the two juveniles.
As first responders arrived on scene the Trans Care personnel were providing emergency care to the young victims. The two juveniles were rushed to a nearby hospital where one passed away as a result of their injuries. The second juvenile was life-flighted to an Indianapolis hospital with life threatening injuries.
Eyewitnesses near the scene stated that the ambulance did not have any visible damage on the front or back but it appeared to be on the side.
The names of the victims are not being released at this time. The Terre Haute Police Department is investigating the incident and will release more information when it is permitted and appropriate.
Our thoughts are with the families of these two young victims. Our thoughts are also with the ambulance crew.
