It happened a little after 10:30 p.m. when the Houston Fire Department was called to a motor vehicle accident on S Gessner near Westpark Tollway.
It’s unclear what exactly caused the crash, but officers with the Houston Police Department said it appears the private ambulance was headed southbound on Gessner when it changed lanes and hit a restaurant’s exterior before flipping.
Responding crews came across the ambulance landed on its side and saw the two medics operating the ambulance were trapped inside the cab.
Firefighters were able to extricate the medics in about 20 minutes from the ambulance.
The medics have yet to be identified but were described as a man and woman. We’re told the man, who was driving, was rushed to a hospital in serious condition but is expected to survive, while the woman was hospitalized with a broken arm.
No other details have been shared, as of this writing, but HPD tells us its Vehicular Crimes Division was not called to the scene.
