"As a result of the collision, the female paramedic in the ambulance received multiple grave wounds and was hospitalized," the Krasnoyarsk branch of the Investigative Committee said in a statement.
No other injuries were reported, either to the drunk driver or to others in the ambulance.
The incident occurred at 2 a.m. Wednesday morning, when the intoxicated suspect exceeded the speed limit while driving his Honda Odyssey along Leninsky Prospekt in the Krasnoyarsk region town of Kodinsk.
