Car Hits Ambulance on Bridgeport-Stratford Line

Three people were taken to the hospital after a car rear-ended an ambulance on the Bridgeport-Stratford line during snowy conditions Friday night, according to Bridgeport police.

Police said an ambulance owned by Nelson Ambulance was driving on Stratford Avenue when a car struck it from behind just before 8 p.m. Friday.

Two medical professionals in the ambulance did not appear to be hurt. Bridgeport police spokesman Bill Kaempffer said he doesn't believe the ambulance was transporting a patient.

Three people in the car were treated at the scene, then taken to the hospital for treatment of minor injuries, according to police.

The investigation is in the early stages but snow is falling in the area, and police said they're looking into weather conditions as a possible factor.
