A man died Monday evening at Sierra Nevada Memorial Hospital following a vehicle collision involving an ambulance, authorities said.
Monty Conelly, 56, of Oklahoma, died after the wreck near Dorsey Drive and Highway 49. He was being taken to the hospital for a medical condition when the ambulance was struck by a red Chevy Tahoe, Grass Valley Police Sgt. Clint Bates said.
It appears the patient’s death was strictly a result of a previous medical condition, and not because of the vehicle collision, Bates said.
The ambulance was flipped on its side by the collision, but only minor injuries were reported. Everyone in the wreck, other than Conelly, was treated and cleared at the scene, Bates added.
