An Alexandria emergency vehicle on its way to a medical call collided with a private vehicle yesterday, sending two people to hospitals, authorities said.
A female passenger from the private vehicle was the more seriously injured in the crash, which occurred about 2:20 p.m. at West Braddock Road and Kenwood Avenue in the Oakcrest neighborhood, about a mile east of Shirley Highway, according to authorities and neighbors.
After the crash, the passenger was extricated from the badly damaged vehicle and taken by helicopter to Washington Hospital Center, according to Jane Malik, a spokeswoman for the Alexandria fire department. Her condition could not be learned immediately.
A resident of the area said she came upon the wreckage when she returned to her neighborhood late in the afternoon.
"When I saw the car, I was shocked to see the way it looked," Joyce Rylyk said.
"I was so shocked that anybody even made it out of that car," she said. "It looked like the top was gone." It was not clear how much damage came from extrication.
Malik said an EMS supervisor who was in the emergency vehicle was taken to a hospital.
