The drivers of those two vehicles had minor injuries and an ambulance was at the scene, with its emergency lights on, parked in the curb lane of the westbound lanes.
A westbound pickup truck hit the ambulance, knocking it into a man who had arrived because one of his family members was in the first crash, RCMP said in a news release.
