Ambulance crash in Walker Mill sends four to hospital
An ambulance and another vehicle collided near Addison and Ronald roads, sending two county medics and two other men to the hospital during the morning commute.
A Prince George’s County ambulance crash in Walker Mill sent four people to the hospital and pulled county fire and EMS personnel into treatment just as the morning commute was building around Addison Road and Ronald Road.
Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department responded at about 7:10 a.m. to the intersection, and FOX 5 DC reported the crash was called in around 7:12 a.m. The ambulance collided with another vehicle near the busy Walker Mill corridor, where traffic, school runs and emergency calls can all stack up at the same hour. Officials said the ambulance was not transporting a patient at the time.
Two Prince George’s County Fire and EMS Department personnel and two men from the other vehicle were taken to the hospital. Officials said all four injuries were serious but not life-threatening. Even without a patient in the back of the unit, the crash temporarily removed an ambulance and its crew from service, a reminder that every emergency-vehicle collision can ripple beyond the intersection itself and narrow county response capacity for nearby neighborhoods.
The cause of the crash remained under investigation, and authorities had not yet said whether lights or sirens were in use when the collision happened. For residents in Walker Mill and along the Addison Road corridor, that leaves key questions unanswered about driver behavior, intersection safety and whether current driving conditions are adding strain to first responders already operating in a high-traffic area.
The collision also follows another serious ambulance crash in Prince George’s County less than two years earlier. In June 2024, county fire and EMS officials reported that Paramedic Ambulance 806 overturned in a multi-vehicle crash at Landover Road and Technology Way in Largo while en route to an emergency. That crash injured two county fire and EMS members and a civilian driver, with officials again describing the injuries as serious but not life-threatening.
Prince George’s County Fire/EMS also offers a public report-request portal for EMS reports and fire incidents, a channel that can become important as investigators piece together how the Walker Mill crash happened and what it means for county emergency operations.
