Ambulance Goes over Calif. Cliff, Sparks Brush Fire
An ambulance went off SR-78 in Carlsbad, careened down a cliff and crashed into a power pole early Monday morning. But, the crew wasn't hurt.
The crew was going to pick up a patient when the driver reportedly swerved to avoid a raccoon, went off the highway and navigated a nearly 90-degree drop of 100 feet before striking the pole.
In addition to sparking a brush fire, power was knocked out.
