TALLAHASSEE, Fla. — A Tallahassee elementary school teacher awaits a more than $1-million pay out from Leon County for a car crash with an ambulance that left her disabled.

Sen. Bill Montford filed a bill Friday that if approved by the Legislature would direct $1.15 million to Angela Sanford for injuries and damages she suffered in the crash.

Sanford had just a left a concert by country act Jason Aldean at the Civic Center on Sept. 5, 2013 when the Buick SUV she was riding in was broadsided by a Leon County Emergency Medical Services vehicle. The ambulance, driven by paramedic Benjamin Hunter, blew through a red light at the corner of West Tharpe Street and North Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard, according to a Leon County Sheriff’s Office report.
