Answer:
If an ambulance crew is involved in any vehicle accident, regardless of whether it is with a car or pedestrian, they will stop and immediately let dispatch know that they have been involved in an accident and are out of service. Dispatch will then send the next closest ambulance to the original incident. Since most counties/jurisdictions send a fire crew as well as an ambulance to emergency calls, there will also be a fire engine on the way to help at the original incident. The fire crew will hear over the dispatch channel that the first ambulance is out of service, and another crew is on the way, meaning they will know that transport may be delayed.
After dispatch is made aware of the situation, which only takes a matter of seconds, the ambulance crew will begin assessing anyone involved in the accident for injuries, including themselves. In the case you mentioned, if a pedestrian was hit, they will immediately render aid as they would for any patient involved in an auto vs. pedestrian accident.
Depending on the severity of the injuries, the crew will likely request a response to their incident location. They can specify if they need a full response (fire engine and transport crew) or just an ambulance for transport. The additional resources will be dispatched and respond to the accident scene. They may assist in treatment if necessary and then transport the patient to an appropriate facility, ie. a trauma center.
The ambulance that was in the accident would not leave the scene until the on duty supervisor and police are able to investigate and document, regardless of fault. Otherwise, it would be hit and run. Fortunately, most EMS systems have a fair amount of redundancy. The patient for whom the initial response was generated still receives prompt emergency care from EMTs or Paramedics on the fire engine that was part of the original response. The patient transport may be delayed for a short period, since the second ambulance crew will be coming from further away, but patient care will not be delayed due to the multi-unit response.
