Mounties are investigating after a pickup truck slammed into an ambulance went to a collision on Canada Way Monday night.

RCMP said the ambulance was parked in the curb lane at the scene where two other vehicles slid into the ditch around 10:15 p.m., two kilometres west of Brookside Boulevard. The drivers had minor injuries and emergency workers were providing care when, according to RCMP, a pickup truck came from behind and slammed into the ambulance. As a result, the ambulance was pushed into a family member of one of the injured drivers, who had come to the scene of the original collision. That man suffered minor injuries as a result, as did the two women working inside the ambulance at the time of the collision.

The driver of the pickup truck fled.

In September, an amendment was made to the Highway Traffic Act that requires drivers on multi-lane roadways to slow down and move to the lane away from emergency vehicles. ​
