The ambulance crew -- a 51-year-old woman and 42-year-old man -- were injured as well as the driver of the SUV.

The female medic suffered broken ribs and a broken leg.

Sources told the reporter say a marked squad car was in pursuit of the SUV, which was reported stolen. Guns were found in the vehicle after the crash.
