Car passenger dies after crash with Fairfax County ambulance – WTOP News
[ad_1]
The passenger of a car has died after the car he was in struck a Fairfax County, Virginia, ambulance that was on its way to an emergency.
The passenger of a car has died after the vehicle they were in struck a Fairfax County, Virginia, ambulance that was on its way to an emergency.
It happened Tuesday afternoon at Worldgate Drive and Alton Square in Herndon.
A Fairfax County ambulance with its “full emergency equipment activated” was trying to turn onto Alton Square, but the driver of a 2007 Hyundai failed to yield and struck the ambulance, according to news release from police.
The car’s passenger, 35-year-old Irvin Escobar Lujuan, of Sterling, was taken to the hospital where he later died. The driver, 23-year-old Jose Lopez Martinez, of Nokesville, was also hospitalized with injuries that were not life-threatening.
Speeding and alcohol appear to be factors in the crash, police said.
Lopez Martinez has been charged with driving while intoxicated.
Two firefighters were also taken to the hospital with injuries that were not life-threatening.

Cops: Ambulance thief leads police on chase on city’s West Side
[ad_1]
Officials on Friday said a man being escorted out of Loretto Hospital in the Austin neighborhood stole an idle Cicero ambulance, leading Chicago police on a rush hour pursuit that ended in a crash.
Security led the unidentified man out of the hospital at 645 S. Central Avenue around 4 p.m., when the man jumped into the driver’s seat and fled with a Cicero paramedic still inside, according to a statement from Cicero police.
A Cicero ambulance after authorities said a man stole it and later crashed during a police pursuit on Nov. 7, 2025. (Cicero Fire Department) The paramedic inside leapt from the ambulance about two blocks away, while another paramedic who was with the ambulance quickly dialed 911, officials said.
Several Chicago police vehicles trailed the ambulance for several blocks. In a statement Friday night, Chicago police said an officer discharged their firearm in the direction of the offender during the incident, but that no one was struck by gunfire.
The pursuit ended with the ambulance striking multiple vehicles and a marked CPD vehicle near the intersection of Cicero and Chicago avenues, police said. WMAQ-TV captured the pursuit and showed a large number of officers tackling the driver, who had run from the driver’s seat.
The alleged thief was taken to Mount Sinai Hospital in good condition.
Three police officers were taken to area hospitals and treated for various injuries, while four victims were also taken to area hospitals for minor injuries from the collisions.
The Civilian Office for Police Accountability, the police watchdog agency, said they were investigating the case because gunshots were fired.
Cicero officials said they did not yet have possession of the ambulance, as it is part of a crime scene being processed by Chicago police.

“So it was about eight kids, nine kids in a car. Someone passed away. An adult was there as well, yes adult she was in the car, they had to pry the car open and pull her out, cause we live right there in the house where it happened,” the neighbor said.
According to FHP, the children were transported to Orlando Health Arnold Palmer Hospital for Children with severe injuries.
On Friday, Orlando Health announced that four children have been discharged, while five additional children and one adult remain in the hospital.

RTD ridership still falling as state pushes transit-oriented development: ‘We’re not moving the needle’
[ad_1]
ENGLEWOOD — Metro Denver budtender Quentin Ferguson needs Regional Transportation District bus and trains to reach work at an Arvada dispensary from his house, a trip that takes 90 minutes each way “on a good day.”
“It is pretty inconvenient,” Ferguson, 22, said on a recent rainy evening, waiting for a nearly empty train that was eight minutes late.
He’s not complaining, however, because his relatively low income and Medicaid status qualify him for a discounted RTD monthly pass. That lets him save money for a car or an electric bicycle, he said, either of them offering a faster commute.
Then he would no longer have to ride RTD.
His plight reflects a core problem of lagging ridership that RTD directors increasingly run up against as they try to position the transit agency as the smartest way to navigate Denver. Most other U.S. public transit agencies, too, are grappling with a version of this problem.
In Colorado, state-government-driven efforts to concentrate the growing population in high-density, transit-oriented development around bus and train stations — a priority for legislators and Gov. Jared Polis — hinge on having a swift public system that residents ride.
But transit ridership has failed to rebound a year after RTD’s havoc in 2024, when operators disrupted service downtown for a $152 million rail reconstruction followed by a systemwide emergency maintenance blitz to smooth deteriorating tracks that led to trains crawling through 10-mph “slow zones.”
The latest ridership numbers show an overall decline this year, by at least 3.9%, with 40 million fewer riders per year compared with six years ago. And RTD executives’ newly proposed, record $1.3 billion budget for 2026 doesn’t include funds for boosting bus and train frequency to win back riders.
Frustrations intensified last week.
“What is the point of transit-oriented development if it is just development?” said state Rep. Meg Froelich, a Democrat representing Englewood who chairs the House Transportation, Housing and Local Government Committee. “We need reliable transit to have transit-oriented development. We have cities that have invested significant resources into their transit-oriented communities. RTD is not holding up its end of the bargain.”
At a retreat this past summer, a majority of the RTD’s 15 elected board members agreed that boosting ridership is their top priority. Some who reviewed the proposed budget last week questioned the lack of spending on service improvements for riders.
“We’re not moving the needle. Ridership is not going up. It should be going up,” director Karen Benker said in an interview.
“Over the past few years, there’s been a tremendous amount of population growth. There are so many apartment complexes, so much new housing put up all over,” Benker said. “Transit has to be relied on. You just cannot keep building more roads. We’re going to have to find ways to get people to ride public transit.”
Commuting trends blamed
RTD Chief Executive and General Manager Debra Johnson, in emailed responses to questions from The Denver Post, emphasized that “RTD is not unique” among U.S. transit agencies struggling to regain ridership lost during the COVID-19 pandemic. Johnson blamed societal shifts.
“Commuting trends have significantly changed over the last five years,” she said. “Return-to-work numbers in the Denver metro area, which accounted for a significant percentage of RTD’s ridership prior to March 2020, remain low as companies and businesses continue to provide flexible in-office schedules for their employees.”
In the future, RTD will be “changing its focus from primarily providing commuter services,” she said, toward “enhancing its bus and services and connections to high-volume events, activity centers, concerts and festivals.”
A recent survey commissioned by the agency found exceptional customer satisfaction.
But agency directors are looking for a more aggressive approach to reversing the decline in ridership. And some are mulling a radical restructuring of routes.
Funded mostly by taxpayers across a 2,345 square-mile area spanning eight counties and 40 municipalities — one of the biggest in the nation — RTD operates 10 rail lines covering 114 miles with 84 stations and 102 bus routes with 9,720 stops.
“We should start from scratch,” said RTD director Chris Nicholson, advocating an overhaul of the “geometry” of all bus routes to align transit better with metro Denver residents’ current mobility patterns.
The key will be increasing frequency.
“We should design the routes how we think would best serve people today, and then we could take that and modify it where absolutely necessary to avoid disruptive differences with our current route map,” he said.
Then, in 2030, directors should appeal to voters for increased funding to improve service — funds that would be substantially controlled by municipalties “to pick where they want the service to go,” he said.
Reversing the RTD ridership decline may take a couple of years, Nicholson said, comparing the decreases this year to customers shunning a restaurant. “If you’re a restaurant and you poison some guests accidentally, you’re gonna lose customers even after you fix the problem.”
The RTD ridership numbers show an overall public transit ridership decrease by 5% when measured over the 12-month period from August 2024 through July 2025, the last month for which staffers have made numbers available, compared with the same period a year ago.
Bus ridership decreased by 2% and light rail by 18% over that period. In a typical month, RTD officials record around 5 million boardings — around 247,000 on weekdays.
The emergency maintenance blitz began in June 2024 when RTD officials revealed that inspectors had found widespread “rail burn” deterioration of tracks, compelling thousands of riders to seek other transportation.
The precautionary rail “slow zones” persisted for months as contractors worked on tracks, delaying and diverting trains, leaving transit-dependent workers in a lurch. RTD driver workforce shortages limited deployment of emergency bus shuttles.
This year, RTD ridership systemwide decreased by 3.9% when measured from January through July, compared with that period in 2024. The bus ridership this year has decreased by 2.4%.
On rail lines, the ridership on the relatively popular A Line that runs from Union Station downtown to Denver International Airport was down by 9.7%. The E Line light rail that runs from downtown to the southeastern edge of metro Denver was down by 24%. Rail ridership on the W Line decreased by 18% and on R Line by 15%, agency records show.
The annual RTD ridership has decreased by 38% since 2019, from 105.8 million to 65.2 million in 2024.

“The sickness on RTD light rail is spreading to other parts of the RTD system,” said James Flattum, a co-founder of the Greater Denver Transit grassroots rider advocacy group, who also serves on the state’s RTD Accountability Committee. “We’re seeing permanent demand destruction as a consequence of having an unreliable system. This comes from a loss of trust in RTD to get you where you need to go.”
RTD officials have countered critics by pointing out that the light rail’s on-time performance recovered this year to 91% or better. Bus on-time performance still lagged at 83% in July, agency records show.
The officials also pointed to decreased security reports made using an RTD smartphone app after deploying more police officers on buses and trains. The number of reported assaults has decreased — to four in September, compared with 16 in September 2024, records show.
Greater Denver Transit members acknowledged that safety has improved, but question the agency’s assertions based on app usage. “It may be true that the number of security calls went down,” Flattum said, “but maybe the people who otherwise would have made more safety calls are no longer riding RTD.”
RTD staffers developing the 2026 budget have focused on managing debt and maintaining operations spending at current levels. They’ve received forecasts that revenues from taxpayers will increase slightly. It’s unclear whether state and federal funds will be available.
Looking ahead, they’re also planning to take on $539 million of debt over the next five years to buy new diesel buses, instead of shifting to electric hybrid buses as planned for the future.
RTD directors and leaders of the Southwest Energy Efficiency Project, an environmental group, are opposing the rollback of RTD’s planned shift to the cleaner, quieter electric hybrid buses and taking on new debt for that purpose.
Colorado lawmakers will “push on a bunch of different fronts” to prioritize better service to boost ridership, Froelich said.
The legislature in recent years directed funds to help RTD provide free transit for riders under age 20. Buses and trains running at least every 15 minutes would improve both ridership and safety, she said, because more riders would discourage bad behavior and riders wouldn’t have to wait alone at night on often-empty platforms for up to an hour.
“We’re trying to do what we can to get people back onto the transit system,” Froelich said. “They do it in other places, and people here do ride the Bustang (intercity bus system). RTD just seems to lack the nimbleness required to meet the moment.”

Meanwhile, riders continue to abandon public transit when it doesn’t meet their needs.
For Denver Center for the Performing Arts theater technician Chris Grossman, 35, ditching RTD led to a better quality of life. He had to move from the Virginia Village neighborhood he loved.
Back in 2016, Grossman sold his ailing blue 2003 VW Golf when he moved there in the belief that “RTD light rail was more or less reliable.” He rode nearly every day between the Colorado Station and downtown.
But trains became erratic as maintenance of walls along tracks caused delays. “It just got so bad. I was burning so much money on rideshares that I probably could have bought a car.” Shortly before RTD announced the “slow zones” last summer, he moved to an apartment closer to downtown on Capitol Hill.
He walks or rides scooters to work, faster than taking the bus, he said.
Similarly, Honor Morgan, 25, who came to Denver from the rural Midwest, “grateful for any public transit,” said she had to move from her place east of downtown to be closer to her workplace due to RTD transit trouble.
Buses were late, and one blew by her as she waited. She had to adjust her attire when riding her Colfax Avenue route to Union Station to manage harassment. She faced regular dramas of riders with substance-use problems erupting.
Morgan moved to an apartment near Union Station in March, allowing her to walk to work.
She still hoped to rely on RTD for concerts and nightlife, and to reach DIA for work-related flights at least once a month. But RTD social media posts have alerted her to enough delays on the A Line that she no longer trusts it, she said. To reduce her “anxiety” and minimize the risk of missing her flights, she shells out for rides — even though these often get stuck in traffic.
She and her boyfriend recently tried RTD again, riding a train to the 38th and Blake Station near the Mission Ballroom. They attended “an amazing concert” there, she said, and felt happy as they walked to the station to catch the train home.
A man on the platform collapsed backward, hitting his head. He was bleeding. She called 911. Her boyfriend and other riders gathered. She ran across the street to an apartment building and grabbed paper towels. RTD isn’t really to blame, but “I just wish they had a station platform attendant, or someone. I do not know head-injury first aid,” Morgan said.
The train they’d been waiting for came and went. An ambulance arrived. They got home late, the evening ruined, she said.
“His head cracked open. He had skin flaps hanging off his head. This was stuck in my head, at least for the rest of the night.”

No Emergency Crews Dispatched After 911 Call About Woman Bleeding From Her Head – KXL
[ad_1]
PORTLAND, Ore. – A 911 call was made last week by a man named Ben, who saw a woman laying down on the sidewalk as he was walking to class at OHSU.
As Ben walked up to the woman, he tells the Lars Larson Show that he noticed what looked like blood on the back of her head, and called 911. Ben told the operator that the woman looks like she is sleeping, and the operator asked him if he could wake her up. Ben did, asked the woman if she was okay, and asked her if she needed an ambulance.
The woman declined, but Ben was still concerned about her head injury, and thought paramedics should still be sent to check on the woman. Ben asked the 911 operator if they were going to send someone to check on her, but the operator said if she is declining medical attention, they won’t be sending anyone out. You can listen to the entire 911 call made by Ben below:
BOEC, the agency responsible for taking and dispatching 911 calls made this statement in regards to Ben’s call. “BOEC calls are evaluated through a stringent quality assurance process. We are on the path toward accreditation level performance. BOEC’s typical protocol is to triage calls by asking the caller a series of questions that would inform whether a first responder is dispatched. This call did not meet our standards for following protocol and did not demonstrate our value of compassion for the community we serve. BOEC will be following up with appropriate next steps.”
