Troopers from the Florida Highway Patrol responded to a two-vehicle collision last night in Pasco County that involved a Pasco County Fire Rescue ambulance.
According to the FHP report, at approximately 7:24 pm, a Toyota Corolla driven by a 39-year-old Wesley Chapel man was traveling eastbound on SR-54. At the same time, a Pasco County Fire Rescue ambulance was traveling southbound on Morris Bridge Road.
As they approached, the first vehicle continued under a green traffic signal at the intersection of the two roadways but failed to yield to the ambulance operating in emergency mode.
As a result, the front of the first vehicle collided with the side of the ambulance.
The four EMS personnel in the ambulance were uninjured; however, a female passenger who was receiving emergency care would later be pronounced deceased at an area hospital.
The driver of the first vehicle reported minor injuries to the FHP.
This is breaking news and may be updated if more details are learned.
