Harry Foster-Smith, 19, of Brunswick Street knocked the ambulance onto its side following a police chase down the M2.
He stole the Volkswagen Golf in London on the morning of August 25.
That evening, police chased the car on the M2 after they received reports of the it heading towards the coast on the between junctions two and three.
Foster-Smith refused to stop and raced at over 100mph before leaving the motorway at junction four, where officers lost sight of the car.
Shortly afterwards, the stolen vehicle collided with an ambulance on an emergency call at the roundabout connecting the slip road with the A278 Hoath Way near Gillingham.
Two paramedics inside the ambulance were taken to hospital for treatment for their injuries.
Foster-Smith fled the scene but was found in nearby woodland by a police dog and its handler and arrested.
In a search he was found with class B drugs on him.
The 19-year-old was jailed to two years and eight months in prison yesterday (December 2) after pleading guilty to six charges.
He was charged with:
- Dangerous driving
- Causing serious injury by dangerous driving
- Using a motor vehicle on a road/public place without third-party insurance
- Possession of a class B drug
- Aggravated vehicle taking
- Driving otherwise than in accordance with a licence
Police Constable Lily Woodham said: “Foster-Smith’s actions that day were an appalling act of recklessness and put lives at risk.
“I hope this sentence sends a clear message that such behaviour will not be tolerated and those who endanger others will face serious consequences.”
Foster Smith has also had his licence revoked for three years.
An 18-year-old man and a 15-year-old boy, both from London arrested in connection with the incident remain on bail.
