An automobile and an ambulance have been involved in a traffic accident. The automobile has been hit broadside and has substantial damage on the passenger side. The ambulance, which has an identification of "Medical Department U.S. Navy" printed on the passenger door, is about to be removed by a tow truck. The identifications, "Emergency Road Service" and "Park St. Garage," are printed on the side of the tow truck. In the background, a number of other cars and a bus are partially visible. Several groups of bystanders are gathered along the sidewalk, and one man appears to be a police officer writing a report.
