Nancy Brice, a beloved figure in the Western Pennsylvania emergency services community, was injured in a vehicle crash Monday, Jan. 13, while she was serving with her full-time employer, Clarion Hospital EMS.

An update from her other employer, the Karns City Regional Ambulance Service, said that Brice is “doing much better” and that she will soon be transferred out of the intensive care unit at Allegheny General Hospital.

According to a report from Pennsylvania State Police, she was in a Ford F550 ambulance that was transporting two children, one of whom was in a stretcher.

The ambulance was traveling down Route 28 in O’Hara Township, Allegheny County, when it failed to negotiate a curve and struck a guard rail. The vehicle continued for a while before coming to rest on the on-ramp, the report said.
