Event: 12/28/1998

Employee injured when run over by rolling ambulance

Employee #1, a licensed EMT ambulance driver, turned off the ignition and was leaving the 1993 Ford Econoline ambulance when it began rolling on a slight incline on a public street. She attempted to re-enter the driver's door and stop the vehicle, but was run over. Employee #1 suffered multiple fractures of her ribs, pelvis, and femur, and crushing internal injuries to several organs. The emergency brake had not been set, and the automatic gear selector was apparently moved to a position between park and reverse.
