An ambulance carrying patients rolled over Saturday morning in a multi-vehicle crash at Pine Avenue and Monroe Street in Dougherty County. Eight people were injured, including a newborn baby, though officials confirmed all are expected to survive.

Inside the ambulance were three EMS workers and two patients, making the baby’s involvement especially alarming. The rollover drew a large emergency response, with additional units dispatched within minutes to treat and transport the victims.

“We are grateful that no serious injuries occurred, and we appreciate the swift response of first responders at the scene,” said EMS Director James Gibney, praising the quick coordination that helped stabilize those involved.

The Georgia State Patrol has opened an investigation, reviewing witness statements and nearby surveillance footage to determine the cause. While relief spread that no lives were lost, the incident underscores both the dangers faced by emergency crews and the importance of safer intersections.
