3 injured after boy with autism steals ambulance in Rhode Island

A 13-year-old boy with ADHD and autism managed to get behind the wheel of a Rhode Island ambulance, and take it on a joyride that risked the lives of at least three people.

The ambulance went out of control shortly after the teen took the wheel, and crossed a highway just as a bike approached.

The bike slammed into the emergency vehicle.

A firefighter who was trying to get in the ambulance to stop the young driver just missed getting hit.

Amazingly, the biker, firefighter and teen escaped the crash with minor injuries.
