"The majority of ambulance accidents occur when making turns or by being broadsided at an intersection. Although the driver of a vehicle with its windows closed and radio on cannot usually hear an ambulance approaching until it is directly behind the car, the largest percentage of collisions occur at an intersection, not when overtaking an automobile."

"Locations where traffic signaling devices exist present the greatest risk for an ambulance accident to occur. Since 60% of the accidents occurred at stop signs or traffic lights, it is obvious that the intersection is a dangerous place."
