A dramatic video captured the moment a Massachusetts ambulance driver narrowly avoided a rollover crash happening in front of him on Interstate 95 during wintry weather conditions.

The Cataldo Ambulance Service told TMX News that paramedic Tim Crosbie was behind the wheel Tuesday, transporting a patient to Massachusetts General Hospital in Boston when he witnessed the accident on I-95 South in Peabody.

“Next thing I see out of the corner of my left eye is a car coming across the median,” Crosbie told NBC Boston. “Basically, right at me.”

Dashcam video shows Crosbie swerving the ambulance to avoid striking a white sedan that was tumbling across the lanes of the highway, sending debris everywhere.

“It’s almost like slow motion when you’re living through it,” EMT Tim Wareham, whom NBC Boston says was treating the patient in the back of the ambulance, said to the station. “It was coming right at us.”

The ambulance crew then pulled over and waited for help to arrive before continuing to Boston, where the patient was safely transferred to the hospital, TMX News reports.

Massachusetts State Police told NBC Boston that the driver of the white sedan lost control while traveling northbound on I-95 around 12:15 p.m.

At that time, a winter storm was dumping heavy snow across New England and making travel conditions difficult.

However, the driver of the vehicle involved in the crash was not hurt.

Crosbie told NBC Boston that he was “expecting the worst” because it was such a severe accident.

“Luckily, it was a young man, he rolled down his window, and he appeared to be fine. He just was scared to death,” he added.

Injured Massachusetts teen thanks rescuers who

Two Plymouth, Massachusetts teens were saved from the summit of Mount Washington after a leg injury stranded them.

Khang Nguyen,17, said he and his friend, 18-year-old Vaughn Webb, thought they were well prepared for their hike on Saturday. They brought trekking poles, layers, microspikes for their boots and more.

But halfway up the trail, Nguyen feared the worst when his leg began to hurt.

“It was just incredibly painful to lift up my right leg,” he explained. “I told [Vaughn] to leave me behind so I could go on my own pace and for him to reach the summit to get help at first.”

The pair managed to reach the top of the mountain but had to seek shelter next to a building as wind gusts increased, and the air temperature reached 38 degrees. Nguyen said they also ran out of food and water. The New Hampshire Fish and Game Department received the 911 call around 7:30 p.m. and quickly alerted a State Park employee who began to search for the two teens.

“Conservation Officers then began responding in four-wheel-drive pickup trucks to try and get to the summit and back ahead of incoming snow,” the game department said in a statement.

After around 30 minutes of reaching both Webb and Nguyen were found. They were taken inside a building and Nguyen was being treated for his injury.

“The worker that was up there, [said] that they came in record time, and we appreciate their help a lot. It saved our lives potentially,” Nguyen explained.

The pair was successfully taken off the mountain by 10 p.m. The two teens are now safely back in Massachusetts and are incredibly grateful to their rescuers.
