FILLMORE -- A Putnam County Operation Life ambulance was struck by a car around 9:35 p.m. Sunday as Indiana State Police and the Putnam County Sheriff's Department officers were assisting EMS personnel on a medical call at a residence on CR 50 North in Fillmore.
While the ambulance was parked in front of the residence, a westbound 2005 Ford passenger car, driven by 27-year-old Benjamin Weaver of Fillmore, failed to stop or maneuver around the ambulance, and struck the front of the 2013 Chevrolet EMS unit.

No citations were issued and no injuries were reported as Weaver was wearing a seatbelt.
EMS personnel were not in the ambulance at the time of the crash. They were inside a residence on the medical run.
Both the ambulance and passenger car were towed from the scene.
