A man, 34, has been rushed to hospital with serious injuries after having to be cut out of his car after it collided with an ambulance.
His Holden Commodore rammed into the back of the St John Ambulance at Telegraph Terrace in Alice Springs just before midnight local time, pushing the emergency vehicle off the road and into a tree.
Two ambulance staff, a 28-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman who had been responding to a call-out, received only minor injuries while the sedan driver became trapped in his damaged car.
