Ambulance carrying pregnant woman in crash
An ambulance bringing a pregnant woman to a maternity hospital in Dublin was involved in a crash along the quays at O’Connell Bridge, it was confirmed today.
Two people were taken to hospital after a Health Board ambulance and a car were involved in a minor collision at around 9.20am.
A separate fire brigade ambulance rushed the woman to the Rotunda Hospital in Dublin after the crash.
A Dublin Fire Brigade spokesman said: “A pregnant lady was in an ambulance on its way to the Rotunda Hospital. She was then taken by fire brigade ambulance.”
Another person, who was in the car involved in the collision, was taken to St James’s Hospital for treatment.
A fire brigade spokesman said: “They weren’t seriously injured it was a collision rather than a smash.”
A spokeswoman for the Rotunda Hospital said, due to confidentiality, it could not comment on any patient.
