![]() An ambulance crashed into a truck on the Erwin Highway on Tuesday night. Tennessee Highway Patrol reports that an ambulance was transporting a patient to the hospital on Highway 107 and attempting to pass through traffic.

The ambulance driver says that he tried to swerve to miss the truck but struck the drivers-side door of the vehicle. The driver of the truck, 19-year-old Jacob Riddle, said that he heard and saw the ambulance approaching and slowed down and tried to turn left to clear the road, which is when the ambulance hit the driver's side door.
