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.

    Stupid moose.

    Sometimes they wander right through town and not only does no one do anything, some asshole hangs around them playing the harmonica.

    I drive this road a lot. There are moose warning signs often in the park.

    I avoid driving early in the morning or after sundown on this road for exactly this reason.

    Someone wasn’t listening when they were supposed to learn the Golden Rules of EMS -

    ‘You are there to be a part of the solution. Don’t become part of the problem.’

    And for those that are wondering about the rest of the rules:

    ‘If you think you understand what is going on, you haven’t been paying attention’

    ‘PPE! All the time, every time!’

    And finally - ‘…into the recovery position - Always roll the patient towards you partner so you don’t get puked on.’

    No-one seems.to be discussing the third moose.

    OPP said the officers responding to the first collision had also just finished investigating another crash between a car and a moose, but there were no serious injuries in that incident.
