Ambulance meets with accident in Yerevan, doctor killed 

ArmInfo. Armenian Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan commented on the accident involving an ambulance that claimed the life of a doctor.

"A sad incident occurred early this morning. An ambulance crew got  into an accident in Yerevan while performing their professional  duties. Unfortunately, the doctor passed away. I express my deep  condolences to the family and friends of Dr. Ghazaryan.

The nurse underwent surgery, and her condition is currently assessed  as serious," Avanesyan reported on her Facebook page. The tragic  incident was also commented on on his Facebook page by Yerevan City  Hall Press Secretary Hayk Kostanyan, who presented the details of the  accident. "On April 8, at about 6:00 a.m., on Tamantsineri Street in  Yerevan, an ambulance drove off the road and crashed into an electric  pole. As a result of the accident, three people were taken to the  hospital.

Unfortunately, as a result of the accident, a doctor who was next to  the driver died. I regret to note that the doctor was not wearing a  seat belt, as a result of which he received serious bodily injuries  incompatible with life," Kostanyan wrote.

In the recent period, ambulances have become involved in accidents on  the roads of the country. The reason is that they often violate  traffic rules without making sure that the route is safe. Often,  ambulances that have jumped out into the oncoming lane or at an  intersection catch drivers of cars driving in accordance with traffic  rules by surprise.
