We have learned that the patient was trapped into the stretcher and the stretcher was still locked into place after the wreck. the patient was taken to a Troy hospital and checked out then transported on to Birmingham. Reports are a tire blew out which caused the ambulance to over turn. No one received any life threatening injuries and all were checked and released.
