A senior paramedic with the Aurora Fire Department has been ticketed for running a red light in Naperville earlier this month, causing a crash that toppled the ambulance he was driving and sent a woman's car hurtling into a row of parked vehicles.
John A. Nagy, 48, of the 0-99 block of Gregory Street in Aurora, was cited for disobeying a traffic control signal in the Jan. 3 collision, Deputy Naperville Police Chief Jason Arres said Tuesday. Nagy is a 22-year veteran of the fire department. He is assigned to Aurora Fire Station No. 8 on McCoy Drive.
He and a fellow paramedic were slightly injured in the incident. The 52-year-old Naperville woman who was driving the car remained last week in Edward Hospital in Naperville, in what Arres said was stable condition and with "non-life-threatening injuries."
