(AP) – Wichita police say rain and speed contributed to an accident that left three emergency responders and a driver with minor injuries.
Police say two firefighters and a paramedic were carrying a driver up a hill on a spine board after a car had gone into a ditch in front of Newman University late Monday.
Police Lt. Mike Hennessey says the driver of a second car lost control at the same spot. The car spun around, hit a concrete wall and then hit the emergency crews and the first driver.
All four were treated and released at Wichita hospitals.
Police reports indicate speed, the weather conditions and possibly drunken driving contributed to the accident.
