meat wagon
Emergency transport, slangily
A meat wagon is slang for an ambulance or a vehicle that transports corpses—a hearse or coroner's van.
The term emphasizes the grim cargo rather than any hope of rescue: The meat wagon showed up twenty minutes after the crash.
It can also mean a paddy wagon or police van used for mass arrests.
