BROOKVILLE BOROUGH, Pa. (EYT) – Police say a driver was arrested for DUI on Tuesday after nearly striking an ambulance.
Punxsutawney-based State Police say around 12:10 a.m. on Tuesday, September 15, an ambulance was traveling south on State Route 28 in Brookville Borough, Jefferson County, following a red 2008 Chevrolet Impala, when the Impala pulled halfway off the road.
According to police, when the ambulance attempted to go around the Impala, the Impala “took off” toward the ambulance, then swerved back onto the roadway, narrowly missing the ambulance.
