After you read the results of this important study published in a respected medical journal I have an observation to make.

The relationship between distance to hospital and patient mortality in emergencies: an observational study

We aimed to determine whether distance to hospital was associated with mortality in patients with life-threatening emergencies.

Conclusion: Increased journey distance to hospital appears to be associated with increased risk of mortality.

Emergency Medicine Journal 2007;24:665-668

My observation: I suspect the time of the journey may actually have been the culprit and not the distance. Of course, it could have been the speed of the ambulance or its size. But, that would require another study.
