Annapolis County District RCMP are investigating a two-vehicle collision involving a EHS ambulance in Cornwallis Park, N.S.

RCMP, fire services and EHS responded to reports of a two-vehicle crash shortly after midnight on June 22, an RCMP release said.

Investigators learned a Ford Bronco was traveling east and an EHS ambulance was travelling west when they collided on Highway 1 near Passchendaele Street.

The driver and lone occupant of the Bronco, a 30-year-old man from Cornwallis Park, was arrested at the scene for impaired operation causing bodily harm. He suffered non-life-threatening injuries and was transported to hospital by EHS.

The three paramedics traveling in the ambulance suffered non-life-threatening injuries.

The 30-year-old man was later released and is scheduled to appear in Annapolis Royal provincial court on Sept. 8 to face criminal charges and summary offence tickets.

An RCMP collision reconstructionist attended the scene and the investigation is ongoing.
