ambulances
Hospital transport vans
Ambulances is the plural of ambulance—vehicles equipped to transport sick or injured people to medical facilities, staffed with emergency medical personnel.
Three ambulances responded to the accident.
The word extends to earlier conveyances: horse-drawn ambulances, military field ambulances.
To chase ambulances is to solicit legal clients from accident victims, hence ambulance chaser for unscrupulous lawyers.
