The ambulance struck several vehicles before crashing into a wall.

A woman was taken into custody after stealing an ambulance from a Phoenix medical center Tuesday afternoon.

Phoenix Fire Captain Todd Keller said the suspect drove three miles before her journey ended, according to 12News.

The rig hit other vehicles and eventually crashed into a wall. The woman was taken into custody shortly afterward. 

“Very lucky outcome with how many vehicles were involved. It's a super busy intersection,” Keller told reporters. 

Police are continuing to investigate.
