An ambulance collided with a moose early Sunday as it responded to another crash, also involving a moose, Ontario Provincial Police say.
The first crash was reported just after 1 a.m. on Highway 60, near Tea Lake in Algonquin Park, police said. A vehicle struck a moose, left the roadway and then hit a tree.
“One of the two Muskoka Paramedic Service ambulances responding to the scene also collided with a moose,” police said, adding that the ambulance was “extensively” damaged, but no one was injured.
I’m glad nobody got dead. This way we can make jokes without feeling like assholes. (do hope the critically injured person pulls through.)
So. is it Moosen? Meese? Mooses?
How do you know? They never said that moose had survived?
Often moose hit by a car have to be euthanized because their legs are broken (moose are tall af). The one hit by the ambulance would also likely be euthanized as it would have suffered internal injuries.
… After retrieval from the front seat. Apparently they are the same height as the windshield.
Not really. What happens is the car hits them at ‘knee’ level and they slide up the hood into the front seat.
With compact vehicles they land on the roof, crushing the occupants.
I know this because I lived in NorthWestern Ontario for 15 years and knew of people who were severely injured or died in moose collisions.
Many much moosen.
Unless the right person asks nicely.
True
(And fixed it, awkward typo is awkward.)
