A woman has been charged with driving under the influence (DUI) and theft of a vehicle after an ambulance was reportedly stolen and crashed outside a concert in Phoenix, Arizona.

Grace Vicente, 24, was detained by police following the incident, which occurred around 11pm on Thursday, August 27, outside the Talking Sticks Amphitheatre and Resort. Police were called after Ms Vicente allegedly entered an ambulance parked at the venue and drove it a short distance before colliding with another vehicle.

The ambulance had been called to the event, and its keys were reportedly left inside. The driver of the car involved in the collision was transported to hospital with injuries described as non-life-threatening.

Ms Vicente's lawyer told local outlet AZFamily that she had travelled to Arizona for the Avenged Sevenfold and Good Charlotte gig and described the incident as "completely out of her normal nature."
