Traffic Collision - LAFD Involved; INC#0043; 12:35AM; 13260 W Van Nuys Bl; https://bit.ly/469viKp; #Pacoima; An LAFD Paramedic Rescue Ambulance responding to a medical emergency was struck broadside by a civilian pickup truck at the intersection of Van Nuys Boulevard and San Fernando Road, with the civilian pickup continuing on to collide with a nearby utility pole. The two adult male occupants of the full size pickup truck were badly trapped in the wreckage of their severely damaged truck before being freed by a team of LAFD responders. Both male civilians were transported to a regional trauma center in critical condition. The two male LAFD Paramedics were able to self-extricate from the wreckage of their Type I ambulance, sustaining minor to moderate injuries. Both LAFD Paramedics were taken to an area hospital in fair condition for treatment of injuries that are not considered life threatening. No other persons were injured. The initial medical emergency that the Paramedic team was headed to, was quickly handled successfully by another LAFD crew.
