Six people have been injured after an ambulance collided with a van in Fountain Valley, according to a news report.
Fountain Valley police said that a CARE ambulance was responding to a call with its emergency lights and siren on when a van traveling east on Warner Avenue collided with it in the intersection of Warner and Euclid Street. The collision caused the ambulance to turn over onto its side, injuring five people inside.
