Milwaukee police say the ambulance had its lights and siren activated as it crossed the intersection. Investigators say a Pontiac Vibe entered the intersection and collided with the ambulance.

Four Mukwonago firefighters were treated for injuries, as were the driver and passenger in the Pontiac Vibe.

Police say the driver of the ambulance was issued a citation for not slowing down as it approached a red light.

Officials say the wreck had little impact on Weber's health. Police say Weber had a pulse, and was breathing when he was put into another ambulance to be taken to Froedtert.
