PEABODY, Mass. – Dash camera video shows an ambulance transporting a patient during Tuesday's nor'easter in Massachusetts, narrowly avoiding a rollover crash.
Tim Crosbie, a paramedic with Cataldo Ambulance Service, was driving south on Interstate 95 in Peabody when he avoided a collision with the spinning vehicle, earning praise from his employer for his safe driving skills.
Crosbie was en route to Mass General Hospital in Boston when the crash occurred, according to Cataldo Ambulance Service.
"Out of the corner of my eye, I just saw this flash and then the car basically coming right at me," Crosbie said during an interview with FOX Weather on Wednesday. "I had to make a split-second decision about which way to go, left or right. I made the right decision to go right and avoided the car, but not by much."

An ambulance transporting a patient in Peabody, Massachusetts, narrowly avoided a rollover during a nor'easter on Tuesday on I-95.
Crosbie managed to stop his ambulance to provide immediate assistance to the driver until additional crew members arrived to take over the care of the person.
"The person in the car was awake and talking to me and had no visible injuries," Crosbie said. "We were able to get him out of the car easily, and I'm glad that he's doing very, very well."
After the backup team had arrived, Crosbie's partner, EMT Tim Wareham, safely transported the patient to Boston, Cataldo Ambulance Service said.
The cleanup continues in the Northeast on Wednesday after the nor’easter blasted the region with more than a foot of snow on Tuesday, and it won’t be long before another series of quick-hitting storms bring more winter weather to the region.
