Five people were injured in an accident Sunday in northwest suburban Streamwood involving an ambulance and another vehicle, officials said.
The accident happened at 4:05 p.m. at Sutton Road and Tallgrass Court, according to Streamwood Fire Chief Christoper J. Clark.
Fire officials were called to that location after a private ambulance and a Honda CRV SUV were involved in an accident.
The crash left two people pinned inside the SUV. The ambulance was transporting a patient when the accident took place, officials said.
The driver of the SUV was in critical condition, and a woman with him was in serious condition, Clark said. He said three people inside the ambulance suffered injuries that were not life threatening.
All five people were taken to St. Alexius Medical Center in Hoffman Estates for treatment.
Sutton Road remained closed between Schaumburg and Golf roads as of 8:20 p.m. as officials reconstruct the accident, Clark said.
