An ambulance flipped on its side after a car hit it Sunday night in Midtown, police said.

Authorities responded to the accident at Techwood Drive and 14th Street just before 8:50 p.m., Atlanta police spokesman Officer Jarius Daugherty told Channel 2 Action News.

“Upon arrival, officers were informed that an ambulance traveling west on 14th Street with lights and sirens activated went through the intersection at Techwood Drive and was struck by a passenger car, which caused the ambulance to overturn,” he said in a statement.

Two emergency medical technicians in the ambulance and three people in the car were taken to Grady Memorial Hospital with minor injuries, according to police.

There were no patients on the ambulance at the time of the accident, Daugherty said.
