An ambulance collided with a moose early Sunday as it responded to another crash, also involving a moose, Ontario Provincial Police say.
The first crash was reported just after 1 a.m. on Highway 60, near Tea Lake in Algonquin Park, police said. A vehicle struck a moose, left the roadway and then hit a tree.
“One of the two Muskoka Paramedic Service ambulances responding to the scene also collided with a moose,” police said, adding that the ambulance was “extensively” damaged, but no one was injured.
Someone wasn’t listening when they were supposed to learn the Golden Rules of EMS -
‘You are there to be a part of the solution. Don’t become part of the problem.’
And for those that are wondering about the rest of the rules:
‘If you think you understand what is going on, you haven’t been paying attention’
‘PPE! All the time, every time!’
And finally - ‘…into the recovery position - Always roll the patient towards you partner so you don’t get puked on.’
