9 injured, including newborn
A serious crash in Dougherty County early Saturday left eight people injured,
including a newborn, after an EMS ambulance rolled over at the intersection of Pine Avenue and Monroe Street.
The ambulance was carrying three EMS workers and two patients when it was hit in a multi-vehicle collision.
One patient was a newborn, making the incident especially alarming, but officials confirmed that everyone involved is expected to recover.
No life-threatening injuries were reported.
Emergency protocols were activated immediately, and additional units arrived to treat and transport the injured.
Doctors later ran full evaluations to ensure no hidden complications.
Dougherty County EMS Director James Gibney said, “We are grateful that no serious injuries occurred, and we appreciate the swift response of first responders at the scene.”
The Georgia State Patrol is now investigating the cause of the crash and reviewing witness accounts and footage to determine what happened.
