A sheriff's office investigator said the driver, EMT Zackery Czudak, 30, of the east bound ambulance may have been distracted by sun glare when he drove into the rear of a slow-moving construction vehicle at about 7 a.m.

Czudak told deputies he slowed the ambulance because of the sun glare and patches of fog in the area. EMT Gina Bliss, 52, was riding in the rear of the ambulance and was transported to the hospital with minor injuries. Czudak was not injured.
