Watch: Ambulance carrying patient narrowly avoids careening car on I-95

An ambulance carrying a patient had a close call on Tuesday during the wintry weather when an out-of-control car came barrelling toward it on I-95. 

Video obtained by Boston 25 News captured the hairy moment. 

Cataldo Ambulance Services told the station that the ambulance, driven by paramedic Tim Crosbie, was headed to Massachusetts General Hospital with a patient, traveling south on I-95 in Peabody when a car lost control and rolled over the center median. 

A spokesperson for the ambulance company said Crosbie steered the rig to safety and then he and his colleague, EMT Tim Wareham, helped the driver of the car until additional help arrived. 

Their original patient was delivered safely to Boston, the station reported.
