The ambulance will be right over.

What does "right over" mean?

Hi,

The ambulance will come (over) to where you are, immediately.

Best wishes, Clive

here: the place where the ambulance or its dispatcher is located

there: the place where the injured person is

over: indicating direction of motion from here to there
