Eyes on the Street: Park Slope Pedestrian Struck by Ambulance

According to another bicyclist watching the aftermath, a Long Island College Hospital ambulance, with its lights flashing but sirens off, struck a pedestrian at 7th Ave and 9th St. When I got there, the pedestrian was lying on her back in the crosswalk, and the EMTs from the LICH ambulance were attending to her. From the position of the ambulance, it looked like they were turning from eastbound 9th St to northbound 7th Ave, but they had "sliced" the turn so that they were driving wrong-way from the south side of 9th St into the west side of 7th Ave, and presumably would have proceeded to the northbound side of 7th, with traffic, going toward Methodist Hospital, had they not struck the pedestrian.
