A patient being transferred in an ambulance to a Hawaii hospital emergency room died when the vehicle caught fire, officials said Thursday.
The paramedic treating the 91-year-old patient Wednesday in the back of the ambulance was severely injured and in critical condition, Dr. Jim Ireland, the head of Honolulu's emergency services department, said Thursday in a news conference.
"Our thoughts and prayers right now are with our paramedic and his family, as well as the patient who lost his life in the ambulance and his family," Ireland said.
