Ambulance asks police to block intersections


Radio dispatch describes an ambulance heading to Sanford Hospital with a trauma patient. The siren isn't working, so police are asked to block certain intersections to allow safe passage. The crew is about five miles west of Sioux Falls and will head toward Kiwanis and Madison before turning toward 18th Street to Sanford.
