FORT COLLINS, Colo. — Fort Collins Police Services is investigating a crash involving a UCHealth ambulance.

According to police, the ambulance was responding to a call for service with lights and sirens activated heading northbound on College Avenue. The ambulance went through a red light at Elizabeth Street when it collided with the westbound sedan.
