Ambulance drivers would get more training about the use of lights and sirens under a bill making headway in the general assembly. The bill is sponsored by senator Adrian Johnson of Buffalo Grove and requires the extra training as well as using both lights and sirens when an ambulance passes through an intersection. It was prompted by the death of a north Chicago man last year. The legislation has passed the senate and now awaits a vote in the house.
Lights and sirens may soon be required in intersections
