The pickup truck struck a nearby utility pole, after crashing into the rescue ambulance, said Brian Humphrey of the Los Angeles Fire Department. ``The two adult male occupants of the full size pickup truck were badly trapped in the wreckage of their severely damaged truck before being freed by a team of LAFD responders," Humphrey said. ``Both male civilians were transported to a regional trauma center in critical condition.
``The two male LAFD paramedics were able to self-extricate from the wreckage of their Type I ambulance, sustaining minor to moderate injuries," he said. ``Both LAFD paramedics were taken to an area hospital in fair condition for treatment of injuries that are not considered life-threatening." No other injuries were reported and the initial medical emergency that the paramedic team was headed to was quickly handled successfully by another LAFD crew, he said.
