The driver who Highway Patrol troopers say caused a wreck Monday involving an ambulance had been drinking before the crash.  Chopper 9 Skyzoom flew over the scene on Stanley-Spencer Mountain Road in Gastonia.
 
The driver, who troopers identified as Blair Orr, crossed the center line and hit a Gaston County EMS ambulance.  Five people, including two Stanly Civil Defense Rescue Squad EMTs were rushed to the hospital.
 
Only Eyewitness News obtained video from Gaston County EMS that shows inside and outside that ambulance in seconds leading up to the crash and the moment of impact.

Both EMT’s were released from the hospital as of Tuesday afternoon.
