A 33-year-old Newark woman died and three others were hospitalized early Wednesday morning after a Nissan Altima collided with a New Castle County Paramedic ambulance on I-95.
New Castle County Police said paramedics were responding to an unrelated accident when the ambulance and car collided at the I-495 south split with I-95. Police responded to the scene shortly after 2:30 a.m. New Year’s Day.
Police said paramedics were southbound on I-95 with emergency lights activated when they tried to change lanes and collided with the Altima.
Newark resident and driver the Altima Kierra West died at the scene. A 6-year-old passenger also was in the car and was taken to Nemours Children’s Hospital with non-life threatening injuries.
The driver and passenger of the ambulance, who were not identified, were taken to Christiana Hospital where they are both in stable condition, police said.
After the crash, police said the ambulance came to rest in a lane on I-95 and the car on the left shoulder. Responding officers and other emergency personnel provided medical care to everyone involved.
That section of I-95 was closed until about 9:30 a.m. Wednesday.
New Castle County detectives are asking anyone who may have witnessed the accident or who may have video to contact Detective Maloney at 302-395-8055, or by e-mail at Kevin.Maloney@newcastlede.gov. You can also call county police at 302-573-2800.
