Officials have located the problem that caused an ambulance carrying a suspect with life-threatening injuries who later died to shut down on 295.

In a statement from Fire and EMS deputy chief John Donnelly, via WUSA, a coolant screen in the fuel cooler is blamed for the shut down. The company that makes the ambulances no longer includes the screen in the engine and has recommenced it be removed from existing vehicles, which the city will do. The manufacturer will cover the cost.

This fix will be done to about 15 ambulances, according to WTOP. T

The Environmental Protection Agency does not need to be consulted to remove the screen, as its not part of the mandated regeneration system, according to the statement. Sorry, everyone who wanted to blame the EPA for this.

The ambulance was carrying 34-year-old Nathanial McRae, who was shot during a confrontation with officers from the Metropolitan Police Department, when a light came on indicating the vehicle would shut down. It took seven minutes for another ambulance to arrive. McRae was pronounced dead at a hospital. It’s unknown if this delay contributed to his death.
