The driver of the semi-truck and a woman who stole the ambulance were killed instantly. The crash happened Wednesday after the woman, who reportedly was armed with a knife, took the ambulance from a crew who had responded to her call for help.
Witnesses in the area said the ambulance was traveling as fast as 100 miles per hour.

Hall Ambulance spokesman Mark Corum said they got a call at about 5:45 p.m. requesting medical aid, and the ambulance went to the home that’s about three miles west of their Frazier Park station.

The crew got to the home a couple minutes later. The woman there reportedly refused care, and the crew started to leave.
“When clearing the scene, an individual with a knife approached the paramedic and the EMT,” Corum described. “They immediately did the right thing, removed themselves from harm’s way, which at that point, the individual climbed into it.”
Corum said that person then drove off in the ambulance.
