The collision involving Air Bravo Medical Transfer Service, operating on behalf of Ornge ambulance, was reported just after 1:35 p.m. Feb. 15, Greater Sudbury Police Spokesperson Kaitlyn Dunn told CTV News in an email.

Three paramedics sustained minor injuries while the driver of one of the vehicles was seriously injured.

"The investigation into the collision is ongoing," Dunn said.

"No charges have been laid."
