An elderly man driving a blue Chevrolet Cavalier with Medina County license plates died at the scene of an accident this afternoon at state Route 303 and Island Road.

According to the Highway Patrol, the driver who died was an 82-year-old man from Hinckley. They aren’t releasing his identity until family is notified.

The 2001 Cavalier was eastbound on Route 303 when it was struck by an ambulance that was traveling southbound through the intersection with lights and sirens on. A firefighter/EMT who was thrown around in the accident is being taken to Medina General Hospital.

The ambulance had just picked up a 62-year-old man who fell 15 feet from the roof of his home at 16785 S. Island Road. That patient appeared to be relatively OK and has been transferred to another ambulance to go to Medina as well.
