vehicle traffic crash involving a Cornell Ambulance.
During the freezing rain event that covered most of the

chest pain.
The Cornell Ambulance had loaded the patient and began their
transport to St. Joseph's Hospital in Chippewa Falls. As the ambulance approached
the intersection of Baribeua Road and Johnson Road the ambulance slid down the
hill and off the roadway striking a number of trees.
