A tweet from @EmmaMayberry, who witnessed the incident, notes that the Duck didn’t see the car that was parked ahead of it; the driver was attempting to get out of the way of an oncoming ambulance.

The collision comes just over two months after another collision involving a Ducks vehicle and a small car. Many have been watching the tour company since a tragic crash in September 2015 killed five people and injured many more. Ride the Ducks was allowed to begin tours again in January.
