Police Investigating Ambulance Crash

Police are investigating after an ambulance collided with a Manx Utilities van in a crash which involved other vehicles earlier today.

A reader who sent Gef a photo from the scene said it happened late morning on Ballakermeen Road near its junction with Westbourne Drive.

Police and Fire & Rescue services attended the crash, which led to the road being closed for some time earlier.

A Police spokesperson said: ‘We can confirm that an ambulance, other vehicles and a member of public were involved and that this is the subject of a collision investigation by the Roads Policing Unit, which is the normal protocol followed for incidents involving Emergency Service vehicles. We would ask that the public do not speculate further.’

Manx Utilities has confirmed that its van was parked and unoccupied at the time extended its hopes that everyone involved is ok.

Gef has contacted Manx Care for comment on the crash and the condition of the people involved, but have not received any response. Manx Radio has reported that one person has been airlifted to the UK following the incident.
