BLAINE, Minn. — A collision between an ambulance and motorcycle has left the bike's riders with life-threatening injuries.
According to Minnesota State Patrol, an Allina ambulance was driving northbound on Highway 65 in Anoka County near Blaine with its lights and sirens on. As the vehicle entered the left turn lane for 109th Avenue, the crew's call was canceled.
The staff then received another call for service, reactivated their lights and sirens and tried to make a right turn to go eastbound on 109th Ave.
The ambulance struck a Harley Davidson that was headed northbound, which caused the bike to come into contact with a Honda Odyssey, then slide northeast and hit a Subaru Forester.
Both the rider and passenger of the Harley were taken to the Hennepin County Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
The passenger in a Mercedes Sprinter Cargo Van that was also caught up in the crash was injured but didn't need hospitalization.
