CHARLOTTE, N.C. — South Tryon was closed in both directions between Shopton Road and West Tyvola Road following an ambulance crash on Friday, Oct. 13.
Medic said the ambulance was off-duty and was returning to Medic headquarters at the time of the crash.
The crash happened around 3.a.m. and caused one person to have 'life-threatening injuries,' according to Medic. Another person was transported to the same hospital for less serious injuries.
The Charlotte-Mecklenburg Police Department asked drivers to stay away from this area, which is in the 6300 block of S. Tryon, until the road is cleared.
This is a developing story.
