A driver was taken to hospital when his car was involved in a crash with an ambulance on emergency call.
The accident involving a Subaru car, happened in Whitehall Road, Wyke , Bradford, at about 5.45am yesterday.
A spokesman for Yorkshire Ambulance Service NHS Trust (YASNHST), said: “At the time of the collision the ambulance was responding to an emergency call using lights and sirens.
“As soon as the incident was reported we immediately sent a Rapid Response Vehicle and two ambulances to the scene and a resource was also dispatched to the original emergency call.”
